Report from Hammond

Josh and I went to Hammond yesterday. A bit uneventful from a canvassing point of view (we basically had zero conversations), but it was great to see such energy from the Obama team. The headquarters was overwhelmed with volunteers! We were told that the precincts we canvassed would be hit 5 (!) more times before Election Day! Of course, they still can't believe that Sassy might be there on Tuesday. [UPDATE: I was just told that Sassy will be visiting Gary and not Hammond. Sorry, Hammond! Congrats, Gary!]

And the guy pictured below was part of a big group of cyclists who were preparing for a very pro-Obama tour of Lake County.

How to close the deal for Obama

Some good tips on how to convince those prickly white, catholic women to vote for Obama.

Also, anyone else get the text from Obama to do some canvassing this weekend in WI, MI and IN? Who wants to pour into the subaru and head out there? We can pick up some cheese curds! Yum.
