here or there?
Monday, September 22nd, 2008i left camp obama inspired, educated but still not exactly clear where my efforts are best directed. so i’ve decided that i will spend the next week or 2 at the N CA headquarters to hopefully help coordinate the heaps of volunteers that have been contacting them. i figure this will give me a chance to see the campaign from the inside and see where the chips fall after the first debates. my hope of all hopes is that obama runs circles around mccain in the debates, shrinking the battlegrounds.
Some NV facts: in 2004, NV registered republicans outnumbered dems. NOW registered dems outnumber repubs by over 60K. that’s an amazing voter registration success story. voters can register thru Oct 4th – so the push continues. early voting (at designating polling places) begins on Oct 18th – so the goal will change to GOTV (get out the vote) at that time: get people in to the station and committed so the campaign can focus on smaller and smaller groups of voters. If you have a weekend to spare – you can help, too! trips to NV are being coordinated each weekend – check out the drive for change campaign.
