Guess who is going to head up the Richmond Va GOTV phone bank

:hi:

ME and my WIFE!

We just got word today after coming back from the Highlander/Celtic Games at the Raceway (Large men throwing things). Basically we will be the point people and coordinate any information about who needs a ride and such with HQ. We are planning lots of food for the "experienced volunteers" (Gotta keep the workers happy). 25 phone lines.

I am off work from Wednesday until the day after the election. My wife is out of town again this week on business but will be back Friday and is off for the big push.

PUuuuuuuuuSH

Usually Zogby has about a 3% Margin of Error. It is going to be REAL close.

A couple of weeks ago the Richmond Times-Dispatch ( Yes the RW Richmond T-D )editorial pages warned the Va. Republicans that they better not take anything for granted regardless of less than half of Kerry's pro staff here pulled out. Then today this.


The Kerry campaign may have withdrawn paid staff members from Virginia and reassigned them to so-called battlegrounds, but Virginia Democrats still appear more enthusiastic than usual for a presidential race. Kerry signs are popping up in neighborhoods that in previous elections saw few Democratic props.

Soothsayers give Virginia's electoral votes to George Bush. But a determined - perhaps off-the-radar - Democratic drive could reduce the popular margin. The significance of the national popular vote compels both parties to maximize their turnout everywhere.

My wife and I rode the Metro in from Maryland. As we departed the shuttle in Old Town, we noticed a Kerry/Edwards table just down the street with a line of folks picking up bumper stickers, signs, etc. We grabbed a couple of K/E round stickies to wear, and quickly noticed that hundreds, perhaps thousands of folks about town were also wearing them, with ALL demographics well covered. We saw exactly TWO B/C equivalents walking around all day. The enthusiasm factor for the Democratic ticket is in the stratosphere in Northern VA, and if turnout turns out to be a factor (is there any doubt that it will?)in a state where the candidates are 3 or 4 points apart in the polls, then Kerry certainly has an excellent chance to pull off an upset.

We went to the Celtic/Highlander games here in Richmond today. For 1 hour plus we walked around-we were just displayed Kerry stickers and we had ~50+ people come up to get them. We had buttons and bumperstickers, we were handing them out like candy.

Good to hear from NoVa.

Again Welcome.

Great to have people like you on our side!

Nah, just kidding! :D

Good for you and thanks to both of you!

go unrewarded. Landing VA would be HUGE! - K

a free ride to the polls. Enough folks do that and, who knows, maybe some real REpukes will miss their shot.

*must enlist friends to make some crank calls to Mr. and Mrs. Underpants*

:D

BRING 'EM ON!

:bounce:

Don't be surpsrised that is all I am saying don't be surprised.

In northern va at least. Last Weds forty different groups waved signs all through Northern Virginia. Same thing is planned for this weds, and probably monday before the election.

The enthusiasm here is incredible, and it will be so sweet to have VA blue for the first time since LBJ.

Out FREAKIN' standing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to do a lit drop in Alexandria. 21 showed up! It's true -- the energy is unbelievable. I've been working on Democratic campaigns for 25 years -- I have never seen anything like this.

rest assured

we got it all covered....

50,000 NEW voters in just Fairfax County...more in Arlington County...Alexandria has a full hand, in office today: Democratic Mayor, Democratic City Council, Democratic Congressman....

Democratic challengers and incumbants on all our District tickets...we will WIN in Northern Virginia....

the biggest wildcard is YOU, underpants, and YOUR WIFE....we are counting on YOU to pull in the Southern Virginia vote....go UNDERPANTS.....

(Somebody has to do something, it's just incredible that it has to be us !...Jerry Garcia)

Lots of work left to do. I love the Garcia quote.

Pull in as many of those Demo votes as you can, man!

It sure would be great if Virginia ends up in the Kerry column. If it does go blue, it will be in large part to your work (and your wife's). Make us proud. Best of luck.

LHJ

first the Red Sox, now the two of YOU!!

don't look now my friend......YOUR MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!

kickass bro!

I live in Richmond but want to help GOTV in Ohio. Is it too late to vote by absentee ballot? If not, where does one go to do so? Thanx!

you can mail it in or you can go fill it out at your local registrar.

Call 355-0404 to double check this is you need.

call your County Registrar of Voters and find out if you can do absentee voter in person. If you haven't already requested an absentee ballot in the mail, it may be a bit tight to do so; also, I don't know about your neck of the woods, but apparently Fairfax County is pleading for other departmental employees to come over and help them out with processing an unprecedented number of requests, so I might be a little anxious about getting it sorted before you leave.

Goodonyer, Mr. & Ms. Undergarments--we've got an early early morning gig with James Socas and the local CBS affiliate on Rte. 7 (!!) tomorrow morning, and I just got notice of

A Pre-election Rally with Governor Warner and assorted other candidates this Friday, 29 October, at 12:30 p.m. at Market Square in Old Town Alexandria.

So apparently not all of us received the "Kerry abandons VA" memo, huh? Go us!

Thanks to you both! If Kerry surprises Bush in VA he will probably surprise him in several other states as well. It will be because of people like you that it happens! Be proud of what you are doing!
