Election day in St. Cloud and I'm a wreck

[wellstone dem]

I got screamed at yesterday while doing gotv. This morning I voted early and talked with one person at the grocery store, she said she was voting for clark, "It has to be better with the Democrats, it can't be worse." At the coffee shop, one person was voting for Clark, the other grumbled. So counting my vote it is 3-1. So why am I so nervous.

1. I hope the DFL takes both seats

I hope they got the absentee vote out in a big way....that's why Timmy the Tool scheduled this election for such an odd time.

2. The 10PM news

early returns look like a blowout for both DFL candidates.

YAY!!


The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

In EVERY case, "Barriers to Trade" and "Restrictions on Corporations" were created to protect something valuable!

3. You got screamed at?? (election results link posted)

4. I went up to the house in a rural part of the district.

I'd been told the list I had was folks we thought were voting Dem. I could see the man through the window and he kind of waved, but I couldn't tell what he meant, but I backed away from the door, but still faced it. He then opened the door, and over the head of his 3 year old, started yelling at me, "She's a liar, . I don't want you here. Get off my property. Don't ever come back. Get off my property. Move faster, I don't want you here. Move faster."

I've never had anything like that happen while doing GOTV.

Way to get out there on the front lines in the face of hostile fire. I hereby award you the Northernsoul Badge of Courage. We got a nice win up in St. Cloud, thanks in no small part to your efforts.

8. And I'm told we only lost that precinct by 5 votes.

I admit my fault, I couldn't find about 5 of the houses.
