Democrats GOTV Efforts

Listen, its always good to keep an eye on the other side of things. Here is what they see (from various discussion boards):

From Illinois:

"This morning, I worked at our Democratic party headquarters. There was a prominent repuke out on the corner handing out literature to everyone passing by. That is all I have seen.

We, on the other hand, are working, walking, calling and poll watching.

Maybe the repukes here are doing more, but I have not seen it. "

and this...

"All Democratic calls. Seems like there are fewer Republican signs up today than there were earlier in the week. A new bombshell about one of family values state reps fell last night - seems he doesn't pay his child support to his first wife... So that might explain some of the missing signs."

"Menendez signs along many roads and highway ramps. The signs weren't there a couple of days ago. When I got home, there was a Menendez "doorknob hanger" on my front door. On edit: Forget to mention ... along with the Menendez signs, I saw LOTS of signs for other NJ Dem candidates. I did see some Kean, Jr. roadside signs, but none for any other state GOP candidates."

From Arizona:
"There were a score or better of good Dems getting ready to knock on doors for the GOTV effort in the Hispanic community around here in our 25K population town"

"Just came in from 5 hours on the streets and i'm about to head back for another couple hours. It's been a fun day. Unlike past elections where you would call someone last week and get their support and call back a week later and they completely forgot, this year I'm hearing a lot more "thank you for reminding me, I'll definitely be there on Tuesday

Meanwhile I saw two lonely Repugnicans walking the neighborhood. All they were doing was hanging little reminders on door knobs...and then promoting the downticket races...State Senate and Representative...the local GOOP Congressional weasel...err candidate, was listed half way down the page. These goons are worried about losing the races they never did. It's the combination of what surely will be a depressed Repugnican turn-out and a lot of moderates and independents who are totally disgusted with the lies and corruption of the entire Repugnican party."

From Illinois:
"Tomorrow I'm headed to the 6th district for the big push there...working for Tammy Duckworth. There are some around here who will be headed to the 10th District to help in GOTV efforts for Dan Seals...who we really, really think will be a surprise victor on Wednesday.

The feelings here are very optimistic...moreso than I saw in '04 and the reception from those we canvass is a lot friendlier, far more supportive and can't wait to vote on Tuesday. Hopefully later we'll get an indication of how the early voting and absentees are doing, but from last report on that front, both were surpassing what we had seen in '04."

"Came upon about 20 cars parked on this one street. At first I thought it was a garage sale but then I noticed all the people walking up to one house where someone was sitting outside at a desk, handing out papers of some sort. Then I noticed a lot of religious type bumper stickers (praying Calvins and "pray for our troops" type of thing) and it dawned on me. On the bright side, only one of them still had a Shrub sticker. =) I guess that's not something they want on their cars anymore. I think my leftover Halloween decorations may have kept them from visiting me but they were out in force. I was hoping they would stop by so I could tell them they were all going to hell for the lies they were telling about Dems but so far none have shown up."

Lastly, this gem entitled: "LISTEN UP ALL YOU NEOCONS!:

"The last lifeboat has already been launched. It is too late to distance yourselves from the iceberg you yourselves created.

Would anyone like to join in a rousing rendition of "Nearer My God to Thee" before the waters overtake you?"
