Just a thank-you to everyone who wrote about what they’re doing, and how well organized it is this year. Makes me heartened just to read the comments here. Special thanks the the attys in the group for their work in protecting the electoral process.

Kathryn, I’m up here in Concord, volunteering and doing the data entry for all the folks that are canvasing. I’ve gathered up all my courage, and fought my agoraphobia (severe) to get out and help. There’s all sorts of folks in NH doing the same. We want to see Obama destroy McCain in the election, and to sweep Sununununununu out of office. Thanks for the work in Nashua.

This is the best run campaign I’ve ever seen, everything is focused. The dedication of the volunteers is remarkable.

Great post. It’s true that people with good intentions still need a helping hand to span the emotional divide and act on their good intentions. Thanks Marcy.

It seems everyone is getting into the act in this presidential campaign. Here’s a story about McCain supporter in Gross Point Farms, MI who vetted trick-or-treat-ers (as young as four years old) to determine whether they were suitable candidates for a treat. LMAO. Watch here.

I’ll be working outside a polling place in Philly come Tuesday - helping people understand how to vote, keeping them in the line and reporting. This, I’m told is exceptionally important b/c (a) PA has no early voting and the lines get huge and (b) most elections are decided by 2 or 3 votes per precinct.

Keep 2 or 3 extra people in line (I suspect this will be a good line to use on people - it could be you!) and win.

Also, from the size of the crowds in training, it looks like literal battalions of lawyers have signed up to go into PA to do this.

Another brother is flying in from Boston to Ohio to be a poll watcher and organizer – we all grew up in Ohio.

I think I persuaded my brother and my nephew in Indiana that the state is in play, and they should call everybody they know to help get out the vote there.

those exit polls weren’t wrong, mkls; never forget that.

that election was stolen, kerry won, as did gore.

points that make the past 8 years of hell all the more infuriating,
and this (hopefully!) win all the more delicious.

thanks for all your work; VA is extremely important. you’ll have much to be proud of no matter the outcome.
