[Miss Marple]

Just got a phone call from the head of the Indiana Republicans, who was an owner of the furniture store I worked at. He is doing good as the IRC chair...wanted to make sure everyone was voting for Republicans.

None of this effort was done under the previous State Chairman. These calls are a good thing, IMHO.

Miss Marple, I just received a call from the Cornyn campaign I am like you I do not ever remember these many calls from the Republicans. Do you think that this is a Karl Rove strategy?

tilacum, thank you for the welcome. It is nice to be here. I mentioned about being at the rally this morning I thought that Cornyn and Rick Perry looked very confident. I can't say the same for Dewhurst.

Just got an email from an old college pal of mine, who lives in Minnesota. She asks for prayer for them tomorrow, because she says that if Mondale gets in, she thinks she will go nuts!

I will never forget that she and I were among the very few conservatives at our university, on the night that Reagan won. We collected our little group and had a grand celebration at some of the little bars we used to frequent in Chicago!

I think the phone calls are a good thing too, as it energizes the base. I guess I just wish that they could be targeted a little more precisely, because in the fairly mushy middle, I'm not sure they always work.
