Ignore the Fuzz

It's a beautiful, beautiful morning here in Chester County. The rains of Ivan have finally passed, and it's blue skies and a dry 60 degrees for the Edwards event today.

Tallying the numbers, our canvassers knocked on about 3000 doors, and made about 600 phone calls yesterday, and they managed to contact about 1100 people. That's HUGE for one days work, and definitely by far our biggest single day of voter contacts EVER. So we're pretty happy about that.

The staff here all managed to grab about 8 hours of sleep last night, so we're all feeling refreshed and ready to go for the new week.

And yes, I know the polls look bad today, but don't worry about them. Remember 2000? Back then, the polls had Gore losing the popular vote by a hefty margin, and we all know what happened then.

The fact is that old polling methods are somewhat outdated. Cell phones aren't contacted, and many people (especially under 30) no longer even have home phone lines, myself included. The numbers are NOT what they appear.

Stay positive, we're going to win this one.
