Who is canvassing/calling today 10/27?

And how's it going?

I'm out today with a small group (bad weather was expected but never materialized).

Lots of work for just a few, but we are at it in Florida!

Only 3 undecideds... er... uninformeds. Three (independents) voting for Obama even though they're not crazy about him, but they HATE Romney.
It was a good day. A lot of enthusiasm.

been going since early in the month. In Maine, ANYONE can request an absentee ballot and start voting by mail beginning in early October. People can mail it in or walk it in to your town or city voting office. Then we have early in-person voting the week before the official election day. With that, you go to your polling place as designated in your area for early voting, do a very quick absentee ballot request, and vote on that ballot right there and then and submit it in person. My spouse and I both already voted mail-in absentee. You request the ballot over the internet, they send it to you, and you mail it right back. DONE. Love it. We also have registration right up and through election day. The RePUKES tried to eliminate that, but we CRUSHED them in a referendum last year to keep it.

I will be doing more GOTV work this Thursday, and then Mon. before election day and on election day. Since the summer I have been dropping lit, doing voter ID calls, and putting up signs especially in support of our local Dems.
