For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
Brought a couple of old folks to the polls so chalk up another 4 Burke votes. God I really, really don't want to have to look at Scott Walker's douchey face for another term. I'm going to need some kind of coping strategy after this, tomorrow is going to suck so bad

1994 being the beginning of the Doom That Broke The Republican Party in 1996, well I don't see that being all so bad.

See, canvassing would be my big hurdle here, as fundraising's just about knowing people with deep pockets. So I take it you canvassed by yourself? No real support from a team or anything? That's pretty ballsy.
I did canvassing myself. I went into it with nothing but some light FO training, because originally I'd been considering working for one of the bigger campaigns directly. I'm alright at talking to people, it's the logistics of funding and fueling a campaign that I still know next to nothing about.

Yeah, although by the time I got my poo poo together to figure out what the hell to do, either the local Dems had either thrown all their money at one of the bigger candidates (and tbf, we got some big races here) or were otherwise already committed to another campaign. Mostly I just got some words of encouragement and that was it.

:lol: candidates only release internal polls when they're favorable to them. Only being up 1% in an internal poll with an MoE of "loving enormous" is meaningless.

Doing your own canvassing can really work wonders. A woman running for school board was canvassing by herself at the Metro on Halloween. I ended up voting for her solely due to that.

Actually, while we're on the topic, are there any prominent gay members of the GOP? That's a joke question.
