Email addresses up for political grabs

Here is something funny. About a year ago, Mr. Crap told me that Barack Obama might show up in Second Life. To find out more, I emailed the Obama campaign.

No one from the campaign bothered to answer my question. However my email address was added to the Obama campaign email distribution list without my permission. Or am I naive in thinking that contacting the campaign with a media question isn't an automatic sign up?

Fast forward to the present and this week I have started receiving emails from the Hillary Clinton campaign. I have never knowingly submitted my email address to the Clinton campaign.

I have to wonder if someone leaked the Obama email list to the Clinton campaign. Politics is like a spy movie isn't it? Maybe I am thinking too much. Could it be the Clinton's have paid to be on some unrelated PR email list I'm on? CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
