Off Topic: The Campaign for President

I just had someone at my door from the Obama campaign asking for my husband by name. I told him my husband was unavailable and asked if I could help him. No, he said he’d try to reach my husband (called him by first name again) another time.
This is the third time my husband has been contacted by the Obama campaign. I’ve taken the two phone calls for him from the Obama campaign and now talked to the guy at the door. Not once have they asked me anything about how I’m voting or what my political concerns are.
I have never joined a political party and have voted the same as my husband in every election since we could vote (one of our dates during our first year together was voting for president).
So why have the Obama people never asked me what I think?
Anyone have any ideas?
