John Kerry?@JohnKerry

Arrvng in Sylvania, OH to kick off evening canvasses w/ Wes Clark & Charlie Crist. looking forward to seeing great volunteers there #ohio


Looks like Crist is really into this, interesting... Based on earlier tweets, including one with a picture of JK and Wes Clark, what they are doing is visiting OFA offices and such, not high profile, big crowds, etc, events. I think it's wonderful that he is doing this, and I find it interesting that Charlie Crist is also involved in this kind of activity.

I feel bad that I just sit in front of my computer, I really do... this time around, except for donating some money, I di dnot do a thing, just a useless keyboard warrior. This year has been kind of tough and I am not coping particularly well... I took most of this week off from work, wanted to try to do something but ended up doing nothing (except getting a new puppy, a sweet thing now sleeping in my lap), I just could not find the energy .

...about being a keyboard warrior. We each do what we can. I couldn't go to Nevada this time around...old car, high gas prices, retirement budget. Couldn't donate as much as before, but I did what I could. I did do a little phone banking...hate phone banking, though.

Take care. Hope things get better for you, Inuca.

IN fact I am not crazy about making any phone call Did some in 08, but I was in an Obama office, which helped. I tried to gather my courage to use the online tool they have now, but could not. I am much better of a communicator I think when face-to-face or in writing, not on the phone + I keep wondering whether my accent may put some people off. More than 30 years in the US, but the accent is still there

And thanks for the hug, Yvonne, back at you
