win the Democratic primary? We're down in Florida now, and I really envy you voting in a pink state. But if I can find an organization that needs poll monitors in November, we'll have voted by mail and will come down.

Back home is so profoundly, uniformly conservative that it makes Florida look like a model of liberal enlightenment in comparison. We normally drive mostly elderly conservatives to the polls; but this time, if we're up there in November, I expect to pass on that and do some get-out-the-vote calls for Florida.
