The bigger question is, is it really that easy to just call up someone running for vice presidency?


Sure is - if you know the phone number, and if you know when to call. Same with Obama, who also has his own personal phone, although now he'll also be getting a secure phone to use with his wife and key aides. Not many have that number, though I've read that Paul Volcker has and uses (at Obama's request) Obama's personal phone number.

Obama might not fall for that as easily since he likes to use SMS/text messages and would probably wonder about a phone number texting him for the first time.
