Ever since I stopped being a union thug in the early 80’s I’ve worked phone banks and as a poll watcher for Republicans. The thrill of Reagan crushing Mondull was a once in a lifetime experience. This year, I just don’t have the time; the memory of being told by McCain’s people that “internal polling” was telling them we could win PA (we lost by 10+) has left me deeply suspicious. I hope it’s true. But I’m keeping my expectations low.
I volunteered for McCain/Palin here and they told us the same thing basically. Didn't bother to volunteer this time. It was a pretty demoralizing experience. And Romney not even trying to campaign in PA until the last minute, unlike Bush and McCain who hit here heavily, was not too encouraging. Of course I've never been enthusiastic about Romney as a candidate, and didn't bother attending any of his rallies unlike I did for Bush and Palin.
