And I have no anecdotal evidence to give you: it's just GOTV calls. Ditto for Wisconsin calls yesterday.

Sometimes I feel there are more volunteers in the Chicago OFA office (honestly, it's overwhelming and gratifying to see how many people are putting in so much time) than there are people picking up their phones in Iowa and Wisconsin.

I pray this 2%, slim as it is, holds.
