GOTV Volunteer Call

Hey all,  I'd like to urge all of you to consider coming to Ohio to volunteer for the final push to election day, Nov 1-4.  While we all feel good about the poll results, all that really matters is our supporters showing up on election day and actually voting for Obama.  If this race gets as close as it did in 2000 or 2004, than Ohio will be a crucial swing state we have to win.  Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) will be a critical part of turning out as many Obama votes as possible.

I know Ohio is a long way from California, but every volunteer on the ground is worth about 10 votes in the polls, at least.  And I know you'll all be impressed by our ground game out here, which I'd love to share with you now but I know you all understand why I can't.  If nothing else we can all go to the watch party together!

If your interested, send me an email or give me a call and we can talk specifics.  We can be flexible to accommodate whatever your schedule allows.

On an unrelated note, here's a link to a TIME article about what the Troopergate report really says about Palin:

Here's a comparison between Obama and McCain's tax plans, scaled to the number of Americans in each bracket (curtesy of Michael Katz.  Thanks Mike):

And I took a picture of a pro-McCain yardsign that I wanted to share with you, but I can't figure out how to get pictures off my iPhone.  It has a picture of Obama's horizon logo with a circle and line thru it and then says, "No thanks, but I've already got a Messiah."  Amusing, disturbing, saddening...  oi.  I'll post the pic once I figure out this phone
