Did Mitt Romney take the day off from campaining?
You know if President Obama wasn't out there, everyone would be carping "He expects us to vote for him, but he doesn't care enough to come out and meet us."
I can't add my personal testimony on President Obama's Sunday schedule, as I could his Saturday itinerary, but here's another report from the front lines of this election.
I decided to put in a few hours with the massive ground game, and since I've gotten personal (not robo-) phone calls from an outfit called Workers' Voice, supported by local labor unions, I went over to the SEIU building to join a canvass team.
I was paired with a man who manages and trains sales people for a venerable computer company. We were sent to an area where you might say we were preaching to the choir, but a lot of the emphasis is on Get Out The Vote.
Gary will be happy to know we talked to one woman walking down the street who is as dark as Mia Love who coyly said "Yes, I'm voting, but not for Obama. If I'm not voting for Obama, you know who I'm voting for." So yes, Gary, there is at lease one Black Person In Milwaukee Voting for Mittens.
Another woman, also roughly Mia's color, laughed at her own front door, "Even though I'm Caucasian I'm voting for Obama." Many people had signs in their windows, and had already voted.
We talked to the owner of two properties who was out cutting some unwanted shrubbery, who said he was worried the Republicans would manipulate the vote totals to steal the election. He didn't vote early because in his county someone might look at his ballot and "forget" to feed it into the machine. The problem with the Democrats, he said, is that they're too nice. "They always bring a knife to a gun battle."
As we left, my canvass partner observed, "I hope truth and honor prevail, because if they do, Obama will be re-elected."
Siarlys,
Say hello to Dorothy and the Tin Man, will ya? I hope you're not beating anybody up there in Milwaukee.
Dorothy and the Tin Man were created in California, Gary, although L. Frank Baum is commemorated by an annual festival in upstate New York, where he was born, and from which he departed years before writing the Oz books.
