(28,151 posts)We've distributed literally of lawn-signs & bumper stickers! Additionally, there is a lot of excitement about the Presidential race and many people keep coming to the office to help. They happily work on all the campaigns!
I missed 08 in my state but, compared to 04 (a very big year here, everyone HATED Bush) this is very different. We certainly have the same level of interest in the race for the WH but it's very positive energy.
In 04 they were coming in and saying they hated Bush and wanted to help make sure he wasn't re-elected. This time around it's all about our candidate, as well as getting him a Dem Congress. We're in the 1st Cong. District now, since redistricting and we've got one of the 3 top Congressional races in the country.
On the county level we used to be lucky to have one, maybe two Dems to vote for. This year we have 12 Dems on the ballot. Great stuff!
We're fired and ready to go, for all our Dems up and down the ticket. This may be the year we get our county to actually go blue, instead of just enough pockets of blue to fall short. If it happens it will be thanks to the army of people who have shown up and worked tirelessly to make it happen.
