We volunteered this evening to canvass a neighborhood for the Barack Obama campaign. They gave us a list of addresses for democrats and likely voters in a neighborhood and we walked door-to-door. What a great time for a cold winter storm to roll through town. Rain, wind, sleet, lightning, and a few rainbows made it a memorable experience. I think we earned at least of few extra votes from people who were impressed that we were so dedicated. We spoke to Obama supporters, Clinton supporters, met some big, loud dogs, had a couple doors closed in our faces, found ourselves on the wrong block more than once, and eventually knocked on about 100 doors between the three of us.
If you've ever wanted to volunteer for a campaign and make a difference, canvassing is a simple way to do that. I plan to do it again in the fall no matter who the Democratic candidate is ... it's too important.
By the way, it seemed to be almost split evenly between people who said they were voting for Hillary and those who preferred Barack.
Tomorrow is Super Tuesday. Go vote!
