I pledge not to ever visit DU on November 2nd.
Instead I will be dragging Democrats to the polls. All damn day! Anyone willing to make such a pledge?

8. I pledge not to visit DU during polling hours
I will definitely be here before 7 am and after 7 pm (our polling hours in Georgia). I have to work that day (teacher work day), so I will be driving people to the polls from 2:30 in the afternoon until 7.

10. I can't -- Oregon is entirely vote-by-mail.
I guess I could find out if some people need their ballots picked up and dropped off at drop sites if they don't get it mailed in time, however.

13. ASK
Ask your friends and acquaintances about how they will vote and tell them why you are voting for K/E. That has a great effect.

11. Trying
I'm working on it, but you are correct. Keystrokes do not result in real votes. Your efforts result in real votes. I was out canvassing last weekend and have signed up for more days ahead. Keep asking folks to get MORE VOTES, besides their own.

22. we're having an election :-) ?
you can't tell by all the attention the San Francisco Bay Area is getting from the candidates.

OTOH, we do have a Republican candidate for state senate who very carefully refrains from mentioning that he is the GOP candidate.

18. I'll be working in some capacity at the polls ... so no DU for me.
And after working at the polls, it'll be the Demo. HQ in my town, and then watching the election coverage with friends (over peach/champagne blender drinks!!!)

I've been waiting for 11/2/04 for four years, and I intend to share some of it my fellow DUers. I hope it'll be a picture of happy chaos and I want to to give a virtual shout and a toast to President Kerry with you all!
