Showing Original Post only (View all)I had someone knock on my door yesterday afternoon [View all]
And I just had a gut feeling looking out the windows these people were here campaigning for someone (I was right).
Given the fact of the area I live in I was half tempted to run them off without even talking to them but instead I was polite when I answered the door (then they were going to get the boot).
Low & behold they were from the Obama campaign. Not only urging people to vote but to vote early & where the early voting places were.
I was going to wait till election day to vote but they convinced me to go vote early.
I offered them coffee but they declined & said they had many more homes to visit.
For some reason this gives me hope for Florida.

Well, given Oregon's Castle Doctrine, I'd be nervous to do the door-to-door campaigning

We had a similar visitor last night -- about 6:30 p.m. -- already getting a little dark.
