Default A great day knocking doors for Obama

I spent a few hours knocking on doors in what I thought would be a fairly evenly divided (D and R) neighborhood. Income, average house price and type and number of cars argued for at close to a 50/50 split.

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".

I am in Southeast Virginia Beach, military haven, and my two times around the area( I only got to talk to about 45 total) we were seeing an even split for Obama and McCain and 7 for Ron Paul. 4 of the leaners were Obama, 2 McCain, and 6 deciding not to vote since Romney was not picked, 3 not voting because Hillary was not picked. Best news is that we registered 10 folks but it is not a party registration.
