GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Western Michigan on Friday greeted its second vice-presidential candidate in the past 10 days as Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) popped by to rally the Democratic faithful and, perhaps, make a play for disaffected Republicans uneasy with either party’s standard-bearer.

Kaine didn’t make quite as much news as his Republican counterpart, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who used his speech here last week to shore up the GOP ticket’s evangelical support by highlighting how much he and presidential nominee Donald Trump hope to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Kaine’s job, by contrast, was to show up in a corner of a key Midwestern state that, in the Democratic primary, gave Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) his largest margins of victory — largely with the area’s the white working class.








Here in Mich nothing is a sure thing advertising is needed beside phone banking... buttons.. tees... bumper stickers to buy....at the camp office not just online .....to get out the vote...we had people come up to us before why we are voting for this candidate,by wearing their tees you tell them why your voting for this candidate if they are not voting for your candidate you just might change a voters mind to vote for your candidate,so advertisement is just as important that is needed to as I do in my art......

Some we talked to did not know they had to use their own phone which most have certain GB limit plans and don't want unwanted numbers on their cell not sure how it works ......unless the office has WiFi to tap in to they would be using their GB which most plans are limited.......
but when we did it yrs back it was on their landline phones ,it is surely different from when we did it...


For us we enjoyed to listen to Tim..she made a great choice......
