Bill Ritter leads by 19. I go blockwalking anyway.

What do you do when your candidate is up by 19 points with 11 days to go? If you're me, you spend your Saturday morning canvassing to try to drive that lead up even more. Yes, I know my longstanding prediction is 54-46. But if we win 62-38, I'm not going to complain.

Heard Bill Ritter recently lost 6 points, but he can afford a little negative ad loss. Still, lets not start dancing in the end zone yet (not that I think you are). And candidates like Perlmutter, Paccione, Winter, Fawcett, Ken Gordon, Cary Kennedy and state HD and SD candidates all need a big over-the-top hand.

We all know about the incredible R GOTV machine, especially known for the last 72 hour push which has wiped out many D leads in close ones in the past. Everyone who can needs to contact the Dem party or a favorite candidate or issue campaign to volunteer for our own progressive final days GOTV push, ESPECIALLY, the final 72 hours.

Yep, the Republican GOTV is like the homefield advantage in football - they both get you three extra points.

I chose to walk for Bill because I believe in him and because I think he has the potential to bring out voters that will help our downticket candidates. But it's a no-lose situation. Pick someone and start walking or calling on their behalf. It's that simple!

BTW, I saw Cary on TV for the first time tonight. Glad she's getting out there!

"Leave No Doubt". While you help our next Governor close the deal, I am helping Ed get elected in the 7th. It will be great to have both offices. I actually enjoy walking, because we are getting the people out.

Why the cover up?
Angie Paccione is attacked for debts dating back twenty years.
Mike Kopp has a criminal conviction -- a conviction on a criminal offense and the press won't cover it. What Angie did was legal. What Mike Kopp did was illegal. Yes, they both happened a long time ago but why won't the press cover the Kopp conviction?

For those wondering where the heck I am...

Blogger isn't working. I get a 001 broken pipe error. Blogger blames my hosting company. My hosting company blames Blogger. This is a heck of a time for this to happen.

That wasn't anonymous. That was me, f.sage. Thought I typed in correctly. Strange.
