It must have been much harder to do elections before VAN. Did campaigns just buy lists on paper instead?

What are everyone's thoughts/experiences on canvassing on super bowl Sunday?

Are you in NH? Are the Pats playing? I would avoid it because there will be super bowl parties.

Rather, I would knock morning to early afternoon but then it gets tough depending on whose in it and what the neighborhood is like.

Austin, so no teams from the state will be playing in the game. I think we are going to do late morning through the afternoon that day. I can't wait until March.

Just going to suggest introducing the googlevoice app to anyone volunteering or working on your campaign that doesn't want to use their phone number to make calls.

literally this big posted:

:derp: :siren: EVERYHTING IS FALLING APART!!! :siren: :derp:

Internet was supposed to be installed yesterday, but there was trouble getting access to the utilities room, so they had to reschedule. Best case scenario is we get internet installed the day of the kickoff tomorrow. Lawn signs are getting delivered to the office today, so I have to be in the office to accept them, despite needing to be in other places, to do other things, at the same time. Campaign lit, which I thought was being delivered to the office, is instead being dropped off at my house later today. Walk packets still need to be assembled, which is my #1 priority. The candidate is busy all day, and has been for a while. I haven't had any luck recruiting volunteers, and no one seems able to help me. I'm also the only paid staff member.

:suicide:

Get in touch with local college or high school political clubs for volunteers. Offer them internship positions that "look good on a resume." Good luck.

I might be managing a smaller campaign in next year's primary. The highest staff position I've had on campaigns in the past is field director. Are there any good books on dos/don'ts for campaign managers?
