But we here in Virginia are going to have to work for it. One thing I was struck by, doing canvassing for O, is how many people did not know who they were voting for senator, or seem to understand the importance of this vote. We need an O ground game here for this race as well, and a way to drive home the message that this race impacts everyone in Virginia, and they have a stake in it. Tie it into the national level with O. Think nationally, act locally. Voter reform would be a good issue.
