Way down in Dixie

Well, here I am on the eve of my second election day in as many months - exciting stuff! We arrived at 5 a.m. Saturday morning after driving all night from D.C. and, after a quick nap, got right to work canvassing. Since then it's been intense canvassing and phone calls pretty much nonstop, but this campaign is obviously much smaller than Obama's (obviously). There are far fewer volunteers and everything is much more disorganized with much more of a "figure it out yourself" attitude. On the one hand, the greater freedom is kind of nice, but it's also easy to see how less disciplined campaigns don't generally work as well.

That said, we are doing VERY well for a senate race, especially for the campiagn of what was supposed to be a long-shot democrat, and are really closing the gap down here, at least as far as we're concerned.

I have to run now, but I just thought I'd write a quick note to let y'all know where I am and what we've been doing before the actual election :)
