Stupid morons (the Obamatrons).

I’m in central VA, too. Honestly, in my rural area it is wall-to-wall Romney/Ryan signs. They’re everywhere. Yesterday I had to go to the shoe repair shop, which is located in town in an inner city area. When I got there, I saw about half a dozen Obama signs in, I assume, blacks’ front yards. And at the end of one street, there was a single Romney sign, LOL.

Thank you for walking. I hope to make it out next election. This year it was not possible. But I precinct walked for years, in California, just trying to do some plowing for future generations.

Ha, I just remembered, I live in Virginia for a short while, and precinct walked for Dole!

So Lynchburg/Appomattix/Campbell County, huh? I just love reading these reports because I graduated from Liberty in ‘06.

Thank you for the door to door.

I vividly remember some of my experieinces going door to door for Goldwater in Texas before that POS got elected, and did his best to destroy our Country with his All the way with LBJ.

The so called Great Society.

Keep up the great work. Been in your shoes in Prince Edward Co., VA and it was a tough area to win for George Allen. He was running for governor. Also went door to door for Ollie North and guess what? he did carry Prince Edward Co. I was precinct chair for Leigh district and gave out flyers at the polls..swayed a few voters before they cast their ballots. Always said that grassroots campaigns win elections. KUDOS to YOU:)

It sounds like you are in a conservative area....with lots of Obama support? Is that right? Sounds concerning if so.

Yeah, the Romney signs still outnumber the Bamster’s signs but I noticed a lot more for Bammy today.

The phone calls give me a headache. Door to door is uplifting. Some people are going to be challenging. But that is ok. If you make yourself an expert on voting, you can be a big help to other RR supporters who are just (as Rove says) episodic voters. Some folks even think you can vote online...even on our side.

Thank you so much for doing this work. I really appreciate it.

I didn’t realize how much fun it would be. Especially when you meet someone who agrees with you. I thought it would be kind of a dull grind but it’s not. Trying to encourage other people like me who may be afraid to dive in.

Yeah, this is a conservative area but there are plenty of liberals here who hate Liberty University and Jerry Falwell. I don’t think Romney will lose here, though.

Went through several neighborhoods today in Williamsburg.. there`s been an upsurge in 0bama signs. I think Romney will win this state, but it`ll be a nail-biter.

The red part of the state is going to get more help this time from my purple and blue part of the state. The energy here has NEVER been so pro-republican since 1992 when I got involved [first time AMAZING *giggle*] to try and defeat Bill Clinton. Romney signs and stickers are EVERYwhere in the purple neighborhoods and way up in blue neighborhoods. Very few BO signs. Their office just opened last week.

The soccer moms are going GOP unlike last time along with their Office-Park-Dad husbands. We are way more organized and much more adept using social media. Be encouraged!

Yeah, some people love talking to us....I think they’re political junkies, too.

There are many registered voters who can’t stand Obama but won’t get off their hind ends to vote. We need to light a fire under them.

I think Virginians want Romney but the voter fraud is what worries me.

What County are you in? Albemarle? I can promise you my home county (Augusta) will go at least 75% for Romney.

Thank you for your effort.
Perhaps you need to say this to Obots.

“Obama and the Democrats have turned their backs on God and the Bible.”

Obama and the Democrats support
Abortions, Same Sex Marriages, Homosexuals and Contraception,

Are “WE” here to please GOD or to please Obama and the Democrats?”

The “Choice” is yours to make!
