3-2 days to go

Day 3 is over and it's a good thing, actually.

Does the phrase "total chaos" mean anything to you? Maybe not total chaos, but man, I don't know if it's the full moon, the day after Saturday night, Halloween, or the heat, but people were freakin' today. Too impatient, short tempered, not getting along. Doesn't work for me.

Still, we got out tons of people, putting door hangers on doors that tell them where to vote. One guy came from his mailbox and it was stuffed with a dozen flyers, stickers, reminders, and postcards about voting. ACT is definitely not alone.

For all the volunteers, we still seem hugely short staffed. The job of reaching 110,000 households is unbelievable. It is about 10 times harder than it seems. When people don't work together, the disorder spreads. There is like a group mentality that can be infectious.

One tip for volunteers in a GOTV in the future: bring some food and remember to eat it. I keep forgetting this, resulting in a crash and burn thing.

We are all so involved in this we really have no idea what is going on in the world. Nothing bad, I hope.

We are flooding neighborhoods with canvassers and literature. What they say is that repeated contact increases turnout. Assuming that the American Taliban will actually let people's voices be heard, we will win. All I can say is, I hope the Democrats are not playing nice in the swing states. The Republicans have declared war on democracy and we should give it back as much as they do. I hope the Dems have picked up the gauntlet and do the same thing to them they are trying to do to us. You want a war? Then bring in on, God damn it.

Don't quit, it ain't over till it's over.

At least it's Halloween in Miami and the drag queens are FAAABULOOS! A good break from the grind of GOTV.

Go Us!

PS pray for john kerry too.
