and I lived to tell the tale! Tip - wear a Bernie t-shirt when you are going door to door. If they are not interested they will simply not answer the door.

Also, explain the primary to them. People who follow politics know about primary voting - but many don't. Emphasize the importance of voting in the primary (whether you are on the phone or at the door).
