Live from NC today...knocking on doors in Charlotte with Howard Dean.
http://www.democrats.org/a/2006/04/one_million_doo.php

"By all accounts, today was a huge success. The most common problem people had was that they didn't have enough lit to hand out -- certainly a great problem to have. There were a million out there, and there were thousands (probably hundreds of thousands) of conversations that happened without the lit changing hands -- meaning that there were probably well over a million houses involved in today's event.

Governor Dean was in Charlotte, NC, and I just got back from meeting with Paul Hegarty, a DNC Political staffer, who was with the him. He was on strict orders to take photos, and he delivered (the whole lot is on Democratic Flickr, and if you have your own, you should add them to the Democratic Party pool.)"

"When the Governor knocked on this person's door, her husband was a little surprised to see Howard Dean standing there wanting to talk with them. She had just gotten off of the phone with someone asking for money for the Party (not sure if it was the DNC), but she refused their request because she never saw any result. No message, no lit, no work. An hour later, the Governor showed up as part of the 50 State Canvass"

3. It was hard for us, as our area is not big on people knocking on doors.
But they were gracious and respectful and that was good.

He is going to do it again in July, I think.

5. More pictures from the Democratic Flickr site.
Looks like they enjoyed themselves. Dean looked comfortable doing this.

Check out these pics and there are others from other events as well.
