Spin Cycle

With today’s campaign phone banking a simple electronic affair, clusters of volunteers for the Democratic presidential hopefuls were clicking mouses and punching phone buttons Tuesday on behalf of their candidates.

Out of Nassau Democratic headquarters, and out of people’s homes, Clinton backers have been making their calls in recent days, working through a central 800 number, to contact voters in tomorrow’s out-of-state primaries. Also, the party’s county chairman, Jay Jacobs, he has been among the Clinton forces going door to door in recent days in mostly Latino neighborhoods where he termed the reaction “very positive.”

On behalf of Barack Obama last night, a team of Long Islanders was calling out to voters in Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Wyoming, taking phone scripts and numbers off a campaign Web site for the Illinois senator. They were using the private Westbury offices of Spectronics, the firm of Suffolk Legis. Jon Cooper (D-Huntington).

Susannah Mrazek, 28, a legislative aide for the Huntington Town Council, said she signed up in November with the Obama effort, struck by his candidacy. “They welcomed me right on board and it’s been a wonderful wild ride ever since,” said Mrazek, daughter of former Long Island Rep. Robert Mrazek (photo above), now of Centerport, N.Y., who she said is also supporting Obama.
