The Trail©
We've had a lot of walk-ins the last couple days, looking for yard signs or wanting to help out. In that respect, it seems the debate was a success. Whoot.
Meanwhile, they've been sending around figures to energize the volunteers. Two senators dropped in yesterday. First, Jay Rockefeller. My second time meeting him, and he is still most disturbingly tall. A couple of walk-ins came in the door and said, "can we get some yard signs?"
"This week's shipment of yard signs has run out, I'm afraid. But Senator Rockefeller is right over there and you should say hello, as long as your here."
The Senator, being tall with Tracy, one of our VP lawyers:
"VP" is short for Voter Protection. KE04 has lawyers in all the battleground states, going over lists of newly registered voters and other public records, looking for evidence of fraud. The Bush-Cheney campaign is no doubt doing the same, with no difference, except I doubt their lawyers are working pro bono.
Optimistically, I like to think that the two gaggles of lawyers (a gaggle of lawyers? a firm? a murder?) will cancel each other out, and the voice of the people will be heard.
The voice of the people showed up in the office around three in the afternoon, in the form of Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa. It was crowded, and we all formed a wide semi-circle around the doors to hear some impromptu speaking by one of our nations few true liberals. I had heard him speak in Iowa, when both of us were working for, ah, a different candidate. He is remarkably charismatic, and resonates with liberals in the way Paul Wellstone did, or T.P. Gore, many years ago, when he invented Oklahoma. I added his picture to my growing collection:
He is much smarter than Bush and Kerry put together, and would make a much better President. But he can never get elected: he is not very tall.

TP Gore, inventor of Oklahoma? Huh? Guess I better look him up on the internet. Utah hasn't swung to Kerry despite the debate. Maybe Michael Moore will convince Utahns to vote for Kerry, since they are so open-minded about it. GuyPost a Comment
