I was out canvassing this past weekend for a candidate for state representative. I have done this before and had doors slammed in my face the minute they found out the candidate was a democrat. This time not so much, oh I had a few, but I found more willing to talk and listen. We are trying to defeat a nasty man, who has anger issues to the core. Had a shouting match with a group in the student union on campus and votes with the wacko conservative faction here.

Two houses that I know are strongly republican in my neighborhood let us put a sign in their yard and asked if we had one for Joe Dornan, the guy running against crazy Mary Fallin for governor. I was shocked!

Maybe there is some hope after all .

we'll get this done.....GOTV!!

the mindless Obama hatred is finally backfiring.

In Texas, we have a very strong statewide slate. There are numerous folks who are crossing over or, even better, reassessing their affiliations.

don't post your complaints until the 5th.

For now, just work to get the good guys in.

It is kinda frustrating to see all the Doom and Gloom.

I spent the weekend knocking on doors, in three demographically distinct communities in this purplish metro area ... a "wealth(ier)" community, on the Northwest side, a highly Hispanic community (highly economically integrated, as the older (wealthier) Hispanics remained in the community), and a racial/ethnically mixed, lower-incomed community.

I found two things: the vast majority of folks I talked to are pi$$ed and NOT blaming President Obama ... further, as a result of the canvassing script, and contrary to the polling, the vast majority of those I spoke with plan on voting ... and I can only surmise (though we were not to ask), they won't be voting republican.
