i *hate* phone banking, but...

[nosmokes]

you do what ya gotta do, right? especially, this cycle. so i'm calling tonight for a local race, county commissioner, and i've got a neighborhood just down the road from where i live. which is pretty cool, i'm getting into it, the list is dems and independents/non-affilliated. manage to sway a couple of libertarian/right leaning guys and one woman our way on both the local guy and kerry. got open minds on a couple of others, i think, all in all a good night.

but the best was 3 different ladies, all over the age of 90, all sharp as a tack, one of which is getting a kerry/edwards yard sign put up by yours truly tomorrow. she's 94, and she's 'been voting democrat for an awful long time. but she was born into a republican family. she married a democrat. now that was a problem. yes, sir, that was a problem.' hah! i love her!

anyhow, i still *hate* phone banking, but there are little gifts given to you for doing the right thing.
