In ALB, the students/commies have been organizing next to UNM this weekend to knock on doors. About 100 turned out.
In Santa Fe, there is a very concerted effort to get Kerry yard signs everywhere. But considering the demographics of being in Santa Fe (Think Aspen with desert), Kerry placards and bumper stickers only outnumbered Bush/Cheney by about 4-1. This is actually not very much considering that even in the Plaza, where all the 'artists' hang out, there should be about 8 to 1 Kerry support to balance against the suburg and rural vote which is much larger and will go overwhelmingly to Bush.
Also just a note that it appears that there is almost no visible support for Kerry on the streets anywhere in Northern Arizona. Its not much of a surprise, but it would have been if there had been some measurable public support.
While we know what we are doing, its not bad to know what they are doing too. They are loud and obnoxious (like printing posters with Bush's face superimposed over Bin Laden and a TERRORIST label) but they aren't that deep in support.
Working at the office this afternoon located in a not well-to-do area of Hobbs. Walked my new puppy and saw a yard with Bush-Cheney signs (lots of them around, about 8-1 Bush to Kerry) and one Kerry sign. The yard with the Bush-Cheney sign was well groomed and the lawn recently mowed. The yard with the Kerry sign (across the street from this yard) had a stripped down car in the driveway, the yard was full of weeds and a mean looking pit bull was trying to get at my dog.
That tell you anything???
