John Kerry called us last night

[dmkinsey]

We had a party for the really dedicated volunteers from the campaign, those who put in 100 hours or more. We had around 40-45 people gathered.
My fellow staffer had told me that she'd called Sen Kerry's office in Washington,told them about the party, what great work these volunteers had done, how our county was blue as a result of that work.
So around 8:30 the Sen himself called, spoke to us on speaker-phone for nearly 10 minutes. He was great, thanked us for our effort, described some of the plans he'd had for his transition team/administration, how we'd come so close to winning (the number of votes he mentioned was 30-50K hmm). He also mentioned that he's still got plenty of lawyers on the payroll.
This was just so cool, that he would take the time to speak to a small group of us. It really meant a lot to our volunteers.
