Right there with ya

Where does everyone get their Obama shirts at? And I really want a yard sign! I see them all over in Seattle. If someone could let me know, that would be awesome!

I'm glad no one has come knocking on my door with more Obama Bin Laden hype. I think I'd rather open the door for the Jehovah's Witnesses that come around instead of hearing about the golden boy.

A bit of suprise, out of 60 doors, only 2 McCains, 2 "won't say", 4 undecided, 1 Ron Paul, 0 Bob Barr, 6 Obama. 3 of the Obama folks wanted to get signs, bumper stickers, 4 of them wanted to donate and 3 asked about volunteering. Two of the last group said they had been pretty undecided until they caught more than the first 10 minutes of Palin.

As one Viet Nam vet said; "that woman scares me more than Bush or McCain ever did, and McCain looks like one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel" (partially paraphrased).

One other item of note, 3 of the six Obama supporters said they had been for Hillary, but after some consideration they're "all in" for Obama.

So while you guys have been bleating on about Obama being (1) a Muslim, (2) a trojan horse for Al-Queada, (3) a community organizer, (4) inexperienced, because he was never the mayor of a "red neck, white bread, quiet little mountain town" (see South Park, Bigger, Longer and Uncut). Some of us have been out "moving the ball down the field".

Good for you, right on! I actually called a guy at the Seattle campaign site the other day to see about volunteering or working for it. I have never been so enthused about an election before, but now I want to do everything that I can to get the word out! Especially to the young community, Im only 22 so I know it will be easier for me to reach out to them. But great job golf god! I would be kinda nervous doing what you did.. you never know when you'll knock on the wrong door... you might find a mccain/palin repub!!!

Oh yes, I went skipping door to door today too, and 10 people said they were voting for McCain, 3 said Ron Paul, 5 weren't home, and only one guy said he was voting for Obama (of course he was drunk and half asleep).

See, anyone can play that numbers game. It does sound almost convincing though.

Well when it is 80 degrees and humid as can be, it is way believable to those of us who get out and do it. Been working for Glenn Nye since May, to turn Virginia Blue, and been doing voter registration. Best event was the Filipino Festival where we got to know the McCain volunteers as well. Lots of people are actively involved. 2nd and 4th Saturdays are the Dem organizing meetings in VB, come out and join us when you are in town!

The Marxist theory is that socialism is the transitional stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles. Do you think that Obama would lead this country towards communism? Wait don't answer that, I don't want your head to explode.

Do you realize when you cut and paste from the internet you are supposed to use quotes? Wait, don't answer that, I don't want your ego to implode!

NM Poll:

I interviewed ~165 people at the Country Club last night. Obama did better than I expected, with 12 votes. They included the prep chefs, the table help, and the valet. I excluded 2 votes, as my Chinese is not very good.
