Warm Fall weather (temperatures in the 70s) and turning leaves are conducive to canvassing.
A large sedan plastered with republican and anti-choice bumper stickers pulled to a stop as we walked down the street on our canvass. A little old lady (very spry) jumped out and asked us who we were. We told her we were canvassing for Obama. She told us, “Wait a minute, I’ve got something for you.” She pulled forward out of traffic, then jumped out of her car to open the trunk. We stopped our walk in the opposite direction and turned to walk toward the car. As she opened the trunk she turned to look for us and started, saying, “You scared me!”
“You know I’m pro-life.” I replied, “I take it that means you’re against the death penalty and war?” “Oh no, it’s about murdering babies. Do you believe in God? Are you saved, is Jesus your savior? What church do you belong to?” I replied, “I don’t. I’m Jewish.” Without missing a beat she asked, “What about Israel?” I replied, “What about it?” She handed us each a flier and asked us to read it, saying, “Pray on this. I know you’re doing what you believe in.” She turned to go back to her car and we each said, “Have a nice day.”
The phone bank humming along at capacity.

Johnson County Democratic headquarters on the corner of Holden and Culton – Sunday morning, before 10:00 a.m.. The first group of canvassers from this office is about to go out.
I had a conversation with a clerk at a local convenience store this morning. Someone else was mumbling, “McCain, McCain…” Then the mumbler saw my hat and started in with, “Obama, Obama…” The clerk looked up at me and said, “Hey, you’re for Obama!” I looked at the mumbler and said, “If you vote for McCain, you’ve liked the last eight years and you’re gonna love the next one hundred.” The clerk chimed in, “You got that right. Thank you brother. Have a good day.”
The Obama field office around the corner on Culton. It’s open and their first group of canvassers will got out at noon.
