Reply #9: Well today i was asked by the members of my local Democratic Party's

[Nicholas_J]

Leadership (what is it called again, the executive comittee, anyway, they are elected
party officials) to be in charge of my polling district and run all of the programs to
contact all of the registered democrats in the area). Arranging to get people rides to
vote, and on election day co-ordinate telephone calls to people who have not voted
as we get updated voting lists during the day. They also want me to try to clarify
Kerry's position and one of the party executives recommended me to the democratic
mayor of the area as being very capable of explaining Kerry's positions in a simple
manner and that I have come up with a number of 30 second sound bites that
would be good to use with security moms etc (things like, "Do you want to feel
secure, or do you want to BE secure" .

I need a little encouragement here and I dont feel up to the task as I think that all they
find capable is the kind of arguing skills I have displayed on DU, which I think have been
more abrasive than persusive. I dont quite know if I am a good choice, but I have to give
an answer tomorrow night. I certainly will lend my abilities doing research for them for
speeches and telephone scripts. I will also do all the telephone banking that they want
but I dont know if I have any sort of leadership skills that being in charge of thr efforts for an entire polling district would take.

Any suggestions?
