I stopped by the Pat Quinn campaign office a few nights ago to gather literature. It's time to visit voters in my precinct in hope of persuading them to vote for Democratic candidates

I'm surprised the Secret Service let you sit there. On the other hand, they probably had more than one team in the catwalks scanning the crowd, and we're prepared to take anyone out who clearly posed a threat.
I don't know if early voting has started in San Diego, but my ballot has been filled in and either has been mailed, or is waiting for Tara to fill hers in before mailing both. The joys (non-sarcastically) of being permanent mail-in voters. The only drawback is having voted doesn't insulate us from the ads - mostly for propositions and the 52nd Congressional district (the race that has led me to actually provide support for a candadite for the first time - even if I voted for his opponent when he ran for mayor two years ago).
Cool! Looks like you had pretty much the same seat I had in Detroit's Joe Louis Arena in 2004 for a John Kerry rally, which I attended because Stevie Wonder played music for it. I do not remember Kerry's speech at all, except that it was a lot more rousing than the media would ever admit.
On Labor Day 2008, I stood in line for several hours to get into Detroit's Hart Plaza to hear presidential candidate Barack Obama give a speech. I didn't get close enough to actually hear the speech, even with loudspeakers around the perimeter, but I got a couple of zoomed-in photos of Obama over the heads of the crowd. I also got to see the end of Detroit's Labor Day Parade while standing in line.
I hope Quinn has a good chance of winning the election. Michigan's gubernatorial election is a nail-biter. (Is the media actually covering the issues? Of course not.)
