I'll be spending the better part of my weekends for the next year on voter registration drives for my State party. As the election draws near I'll be working on GOTV canvassing and phone banks, and on election day I'll be driving voters to the polls.

I have two nephews in university in Missouri, and they've been talking to me about getting involved in their Democratic campus organizations. I think this is an important outreach and it's never too early, so it's a good thing to encourage any college friends and family to get involved. I'm glad they're both interested in doing this, as Missouri will be an important swing state next year.

I'm not too worried at this point about not being committed to any one candidate (although I'm trending Kerry) because my focus in the next year is working to recruit new Democrats. The rest will sort itself out over time.
