GOTV stories from NC

I have canvassed in Durham and Orange County, NC. When I go to houses, many have already been visited two or three times by volunteers and the election is a week away! In little Hillsborough (northern Orange County as opposed to Southern Orange where Chapel Hill is flooded with Dems), there were 17+ canvassers today. Volunteers have stories about people throwing up their arms and saying to the effect, "'Okay, okay, I'll vote today," just don't come back again." The steely determination of volunteers and staffers is phenomenal this year, versus the glee of 2008 but we had no real belief NC would go blue. Now everyone believes we can truly make a difference and that is getting many Dem volunteers out canvassing and making calls. There is simply no way the Romney camp has this amount of organization and effort.
