108 people today

I did two canvassing runs today.
and then went and saw Wayne Powell speak with elleng who drove in.

We had an hour together at a local restaurant and then went to Powell's rally. About 100+ people at the rally. I recognized one woman who was in our house in 2008 when we did a last weekend launch.

Ellen is magnificient and truly a pleasure to meet.

Does canvassing work?

Great article here on both efforts in Ohio

Did ellen speak with wayne powell?

Or did you and ellen go to see wayne powell speak?

<< . . . and then went and saw Wayne Powell speak with elleng who drove in.>>

Might be better to say ". . . and then went, with elleng, who drove in, to see Wayne Powell speak."

Nevertheless, thank you so much for your work and let's hope Obama carries VA again!

How fun to meet a DUer in person.. like elleng!

From your article..

In the case of the Obama campaign, officials say they are mostly dusting off the 2008 playbook, turning into standard practice tactics considered revolutionary four year ago. They are rebuilding networks of “neighborhood leaders” who organize their Zip codes, a system bolstered by vast voter databases.“
There’s really no need to mess with success,” said Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern.

I exposed several spouses of coworkers, a couple were managers.

I can't put myself in that position, specially considering the condition of my company right now.

I have offered to do many other things and all they want me to do is canvass. I did that many times.

Local organizer said I couldn't get a sign until I canvassed. Guess that explains why there are no Obama signs in the neighborhood.

I missed the rally, but was able to meet up with her while she was on the way home.

Not a bad turnout.

Hopefully this will be the year we can rid the country of Cantor.
