I had a plan to go to the big event in Iowa City - I love big events - especially Bernie ones. Ive been to a bunch and it is truly electrifying...so I go to more
The grand plan was to canvass quickly - get some good work in and head east to Iowa City. If I left by 3 I could be there, find a pace to park ole Thrifty rental, get to the venue and maybe even get in.
And after getting electrified maybe stop by and visit my commuter bud Bryan at the Jazz bar.
Well I was out on my second turf in a very nice neighborhood knocking on doors and having lots of voter contact. Not everyone was on my list but it was still good to listen.
My Hill bud AB Stoddard asked if I'd survey some folks to see their reaction to the new Hillary e-mail hype - as it turned out voters really don't care about the issue anywhere as much as the media does.." whats new about it" was the most popular refrain.. The Bernie fans agree that he shouldn't be commenting about it until or if it is more real than hype...
A.B. might have been focused on the issue as she referenced it a bit and since I sent her my findings...silence...maybe she's taking an evening off..or writing...
The conversations in the field became so rich ..and my list was pretty big - time flew by. And I was so committed to see this turf thru and hit every door and find as many Bernie caucusers as I cold.... my Iowa City - big event - supercharged Bernie rally - exciting story with pictures and people and everything plans...were dropped as the clock ticked past my departure deadline and I knocked on a few more doors...and talked to more voters...
That's just not like me - I always pick fun over work...that's my life.. so the fun reward I gave myself for meritorious conduct was to finish my route - head back to the World HQ- Des Moines and make calls for 2 hours - same amount of time I would have been driving back from Iowa City...
Calls were not as great as doors tonite...but we did find more Bernie caucusers...
