I'm still working phone banks. I spoke to Nevada hispanic households, which seems to go along with his win there.

More Americans are learning...

Personally, living in PA, I know how important it is NOW to help get our ground forces out. On the way to that, I'm trying to reach as many PoC in the south as possible, including getting my southern friends to join in.

It's happening. This, coupled with what shakes away from those who see what the Democrats are up agains, should drive the message to

WALK THE WALK AFTER TALKING THE TALK!

Tomorrow I'm going to put in a couple hours for the SC phone bank and I'm going to send another donation.

I have a corporate class in the morning (evening there) and then come back home. That should give me a little less than 2 hours before the end of the shift.

Yes, that is true. Plus lots of wrong numbers.

I enjoyed doing phone banking in 2008, but this time around I'm just not as into it. I only did 30 minutes.

about the elected delegates. Once again we got about half of the delegates. Forget the super-delegates for now.

And once again we are very close to the supposedly inevitable candidate.

She has not won big in a single state yet. We have.
