Simo and Tony B. took MC Turf 1 by storm on Saturday, knocking on 168 doors in all. Our mission, as imparted to us by the campaign office folks, was primarily to make sure that Obama supporters know that they can vote early and to inform them with the details of where and when. It was a glorious Fall day with big color from the trees,
and to our(slight) surprise, Michigan City's a pretty friendly place. Even the Johnny Mac fans were, if not nice, not much worse than a little crabby.
TB: Sure you get the 40 year old woman who says (brags?): 'Nope, I've never voted ever. Not since [before] I was 18!'
Huh? But on the flipside you get a 70 yr old who (slowly) states that she '... wanted to vote for Obama since before he even decided to run'. You and me both, sister.
Certainly the best canvassing experience I've had, and a pretty easy 4 hours. But I can see why it's a battleground state. These people are all over the map, though to their credit they all seem to get along ok.
P.s. They need people next weekend, too ..."
