The Election

Needless to say, I am ecstatic. I spent Election day canvassing for votes in NJ. I was originally planning to go to a campaign office in Pennsylvania to work there as it was supposed to be a close race. I decided to go to my local office which was just as well. He won 55-45 in PA so he didn't need my help. Since I was taking the entire day off as a paid community service day, I walked the streets from 9:30 until 5. My legs were aching by the time I was done. I was amazed at the number of volunteers there were at the office. At one point I walked through a conference room filled with probably 25 people on cell phones, all calling voters. The "get out the vote" drive was very impressive. Just last week I spent the night worrying that both the Phillies and Barack would lose. I am happy that I was wrong.
