Just returned from GOTV canvassing in Maine. Caught in short hail storm. CHILLY !

It hailed tonight for a while. Long enough for a bit to pile up on cars. CHILLY NIGHT up here in the northeast. But guess what, we are ROCKING THE HOUSE with callers in our campaign office and canvassers on the streets. We are working like hell for our candidates up and down the ticket (whereas the RePUKES are using robo calls for their downticket people and that's about it). If all goes as polls show, we will sweep the national offices (including former gov. Angus King for US Senate who is an indy and who most D's are supporting as he leans more D than R and is supporting Obama - the D can't win in that multi-candidate race and isn't polling for squat) and we have a very good shot at retaking the legislature. In fact the state house will probably go D and we will at least get very close winning the state senate. So the R's are bearing up for a BAD day tomorrow. And they KNOW IT. I will do final canvassing tomorrow afternoon.

And, if all goes well, Maine will be the first state where the people, not the courts or legislature, legalize same-sex marriage.
