"Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards brings his "Front Porch Tour" to New Orleans today, his first visit to the state since being tapped last week as John Kerry's running mate. The stop is part of a five-day, seven-state campaign swing in which the North Carolina senator will talk with families about middle-class tax cuts."...

"But a new advertising blitz unveiled late last week, targeted at what the campaign called "battleground states," did not include Louisiana and Arkansas, which had been included in an earlier round of ads."

It seems that Louisiana has fallen off several lists of "battle ground states". Do people really think we're that much of a long shot?

1. Are you a volunteer?

You can get into this stuff if you are.

2. yeah..i'm a volunteer

but I haven't received an email or anything about it.
I've volunteered with several different kerry volunteer organizations as well as on the web page. I kinda wish they'd consolodate into one group. There's Kerry Crescent (New Orleans group), Kerryroots.com (grassroots Louisiana group), Louisiana for Kerry (not too sure about this one) plus the volunteer sign up on the kerry page. I'll read over my latest email from kerryroots and see if she mentions anything in there. Maybe i'll find out more at the John Kerry 2004 meetup next Thursday.

7. Call NO campaign HQ

and volunteer there. I'm sure they're working on the events there. Ask who is coordinating volunteers for that event.

12. All the polls I've seen show * with around a 10pt lead

of course I haven't seen any recently. It's absolutely maddening to see the poorest state in the country voting against it's own interest.
