My GOTV story from Sunday Afternoon

While we were getting ready for our neighborhood halloween festivities, my wife ran over to the local Osco and came back telling me the Kerry GOTV visibility people were on the corner down the street. So I grabbed a sign and ran over to join in the fun. and fun it was!

First off, one of the guys on the corner was ClassWarrior from DU. It was great to meet a fellow DU'er out on the streets.

The honking and thumbs up were running about 80/20 in Kerry's favor! We handed out lots of signs and bumper stickers. Got lots of thumbs-up and horns honking too. Since we were just 2 blocks from my house, it was fun to see neighbors drive by and recognize me on the corner and wave and honk.

This felt great! Kerry in a landslide!

9. It was probably all the unemployed slackers...

...driving to and from their dealers, while the respectable Republicans were spending time with their families, volunteering at their local church or working extra hours to pay for the slackers unemployment.

On a serious note, here in MN, I don't recall seeing one * GOTV visibility person. I've only noticed Kerry GOTV visibility people and I honk/wave accordingly!
