I'm on my way to South Carolina
I'm flying to South Carolina tonight to help out Obama and see what's happening. I'll be there until Sunday. I'll report back as much as I can. Going to SC is important to me. The best way to win elections is on the ground, not on the internets.

“The future will not belong to those who sit on the sidelines. The future will not belong to the cynics. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” -Paul Wellstone

The above quote is how I see this election.

9. I'm paying for flight, car, and hotel
I probably could have done it cheaper (bus, sleeping bag), but I'd rather be comfortable. This isn't my first election related trip. I've gone to NH for Clark, Ohio for Kerry, and Florida for Kerry before.

13. Wonderful and thank you!!
Here on the west coast, my friends and I went to Nevada for 10 days. We rented a golf cart because I had broken my foot recently and we had a great time knocking on doors for Obama.

Best of luck and thank you for not being afraid to ante up. Cheers.

22. My dog flew down the stairs and knocked me over.
My foot folded under me and bent like a dry branch. Ouch!

The dog, Seven, is fine though. ;)

Thanks for your words of encouragement. Now I'm turning my attention to California ...
