that the ground campaign (retail politics) is just as important as the air campaign (mass media politics).

That's cool what you did but I think you lay blame at the wrong feet. Each of us individually has to decide what's important and how much we are willing to sacrifice. You did, and you did the right thing. You set a great example.

Excellent work. I champion keeping a FReep kit in the car for just such an opportunity. For $10 or so you can get one of those 20"x30" foam boards (nice and stiff so you can easily hold it up) and dry erase material that comes in a roll (see http://www.mygowrite.com/products.asp ) so you can turn it into an instant white board. Get a few dry erase markers (as large a tip as possible 'cause you need thick 3" tall or better letters for visibility). And shazam! as quick as Kerry can change a position, you have the makings for an instant FReep!

Wow. Thanks for being there and thanks for your gentle reminder for the rest of us to get out there and make friends too.

Activism at its finest!

Good job taking the message into enemy territory.

I wish I could do the same. I got stuck in an elevator on gallery night with a bunch going up to an exhibit. One guy piped up, "there aren't any re-PUB-li-cans here?" in an accusatory tone.

When no one answered him, he pointed to the maintenance man with a crew cut who was operating the freight elevator in the loft building. "I bet HE'S a re-PUB-li-can!"

The maintenance man meekly said, "no."

I just stared straight ahead, wishing the elevator doors would open.

For the rest of the evening, I felt like a fool for failing to challenge the twit.

The overall reaction was generally about 50-50, which for this area, is very good.

For the Short North area of Columbus I would say that is phenomemnal.

Good job my fellow Buckeye!

I was at the Ohio State Fair this past Saturday. It was extremely crowded with great weather. What I observed at the Bricker building was fantastic. I stopped by the Bush table and there were folks lined up to talk, purchase signs, T-Shirts, register to vote and etc. I bought my "W"/Bush Cheney t-shirt. Then my hubby and I spotted the scary kerry table...NOT one person was at their table!!!!! hehe! We walked by there several times over a period of about an hour and we still did not see a person visiting their table. As we were walking by we overheard a young voting age female say to her Mother "Should we ask the kerry people where the Bush table is?" It was so funny. It sounded like something I would do! :) Moreover, people young and old were buying Bush signs and t-shirts at a rapid pace. Everywhere we looked people was carring their Bush signs. It was awsome! The media and their polls are full of sh*t! THIS IS BUSH COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, while I was there I got to see "Grand Funk Railroad!" They were awsome! When they sang "American Band" the croud went nuts!

Wow! Just a reminder - there are other races this year, and in 2006. The Republican Central committee always has about ten vacancies for its 150 seats. The RKBA folks have about 50, while the gun-grabbers have about 90. Somebody picked Deb Pryce, after all. So if we pick up the 10 vacancies, and another 16 contested, can keep AWB out of it.

If Ohio goes Kerry, Bush is done. But if Bush takes PA - it will be tough because this year he doesn't have Santorum to help, Kerry could take Florida and still lose. Bush took 271 in 2000 - he gets another 7 from the census, PA has 21, while FL has 27. I've heard the Amish are voting this year. Will they vote Kerry because of war? Or Bush on other issues? I know that among my Mennonite friends Bush gets very little support.

Any way, it's going to be a long night in November. As Stalin said, it doesn't matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes.

However, one Bush supporter in particular said, "It is about time you guys did something". This sentiment was also expressed by numerous others.

First, thanks for your effort

Second, WTF is their problem? They want someone to carry the fight for them. They would have sat in their seats on Flight 93.

Good for you!

But we ARE doing something.

We've been making phone calls and now going door to door, county fairs, festivals, etc.

Maybe those folks haven't seen anything yet, but they will. This is a strong campaign that's just getting reved up.....
