$20 to Rob Zerban and $20 to Obama. In the House bill that prevented Capitol Hill insider trading, he injected at midnight, a clause allowing family members to do so. He also 'sold short' Treasury Notes prior to debt bill debacle, essentially hoping for a Moody's downgrade. I have the basics straight, maybe not the lingo. In 2004 I went to Ohio 3 days prior to election day to help Kerry. From here in TN, Virginia looks like the 'go to' state in 2012 to whoop Cantor, Romney and George 'Macaca' Allen. Neat thing in 2004-One guy in our group of 4 in one car, hanging door-hangers, starting at 5:30 am until 6:30 pm, beginning in the dark and the rain with SEIU provided ponchos and flashlights-----take a breath Jim----was a young construction attorney from San Rafael Ca., paying for his own flight and renting the car we all rode in. He and I stuck together all day, but were treated with a rotating review of local volunteers who escaped from work and home obligations in 2 and 3 hour blocs. One young woman, bless her, was 27ish, 3 youngsters, worked from 6:30 to 3:00 at her job and then came and helped the team for 3 hours. We had 'em black, white--very young and really old---minimum wager's and not so minimum (e.g. Jack Lynch the attorney). Quite the experience. Proud and teary.
