Should parties pay to get out the vote?

I was signing up at the Halloween parade to volunteer for the Barack Obama campaign in our area to encourage others to vote and while I was signing up a guy next to me doing the same thing signing up asked if they paid us for our help and when he found out they didn't he backed out. I was really suprised by it because I personally feel like so much is at stake and this is one way you can help make a difference. I just wondered to myself if this guy had a clue what was going on after seeing that. Do you think parties should pay their callers and door-to-door help? I think that would mess things up and I would think volunteers would make more of an effort than people getting paid.
