Making the calls

I'd love to be able to write more in here but lately there's just too much good stuff to read - among them plenty of pieces by conservative writers stating very succinctly why Bush is the wrong choice to make for principled conservatives. (You can read a couple here (Pat Buchanan's mag) and here (just do the Salon day pass, it's free, and this article is great) and here.)

Also, I spent yesterday making calls to swing states to get people out to canvass for Kerry. I'd rather be there doing it myself, but if this helps at all, it's worth it. I suspect a lot of people are making these calls, because it was almost impossible to get a list of people to call who weren't in Washington state, which is not really in play as far as I can tell from the polls. I wanted to be calling Wisconsin, Florida, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania. (I did pull callers from Florida a couple of times, and Wisconsin once, but that was it.) In any case, I hope it helps. What I really wish I could is personally hand out the massive amount of sane, rational information I've got at the ready to every independent or undecided voter in this country. If anyone knows anyone who can be swayed, I'm willing to send this stuff out to them. I've got the goods, and a lot of it is written by conservatives. So just let me know.

I'm just a little disturbed that Minnesota is in play at all - whatever happened to the state of Hubert H. Humphrey, Paul Wellstone, and Mondale? Hopefully, Jesse Ventura's surprise endorsement of Kerry might shake this up a little bit. Granted Jesse the Body didn't exactly leave the office on a high note, but I figure this veteran and ex-WWF wrestler still has pull among the independents, undecideds and even, as they've become affectionately known during this election cycle, "the NASCAR crowd".
