I watched the entire DNC, all 4 nights. I didn’t explicitly mean to, but it was so engrossing and informative. The old guard has finally passed the torch and there were so many killer moments that my enthusiasm has surpassed even Obama 08 levels. I am signing up to do some phone banking at least. I’ve not done it before but the website said they will train us so I’m stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m in a red state but nothing is impossible unless we just don’t try.
I did phone banking for Obama and it was… interesting. We’re a vote by mail state and they had us calling the reddest part of the state after the mailing deadline to remind people “Hey, it’s too late to mail your ballot, if you still want to vote, we can tell you where your local drop off location is.”
People were REALLY angry! Legally, we had to open with “I’m calling on behalf of the Barack Obama campaign…”
“I AINT VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA!”
“That’s fine, that’s not why I’m calling. It looks like you haven’t turned in your ballot yet and we just wanted to remind you, if you still want to vote, it’s too late to mail it. Do you need a list of ballot drop off locations?”
“Oh.”
