Campaign offices around the Country cannot keep a supply of McCain/Palin yard signs in stock. One County in FL has just ordered 20,000 more and other counties in FL are going to have to do the same as they have run out.
In a large Florida city they have the most volunteers ever for phone banks and more satelitte offices then during Bush-Cheney. People are volunteering for phone banks in record numbers to make calls for McCain/Palin.
In Oklahoma, our county is ordering 10,000 more signs as they went through 5,000 and another 5,000 since the Convention. States asked counties to order so they can get them direct and faster. Have talked to people from a lot of states within the last few days that have run out of signs and their GOP is ordering more.
Backorder for bumpstrips for individuals — what normally would take 4-5 days is taking a couple of weeks.
Most of us that have been involved with Presidential politics have never seen anything like it. Since the Convention, the enthusiasm is growing around the Country with number of people at events, etc. in spit of the media and polls which anyone around politics knows are junk!
Wow! You really did bring the good news. LOL
It seriously reminds me of 2004. The media was terribly in the tank for Kerry, and all anyone ever wanted to talk about was the increased Dem turnout (which did indeed occur) due to anti-Bush feelings. Unfortunately the Dems were swamped by a tidal wave of broken-glass conservatives just itching to send Kerry packing and flip the bird to the media.
I see the same thing in play in 2008.
Everywhere except here on Free Republic, of course. [smacking forehead] Here the lemmings are diving headfirst into the sea of sorrow.
Right there with ya!
