The canvassers and pollsters are out in full force. I feel like I'm under assault. |
|
I live in Southern NH. I cannot wait for Tuesday.
Because maybe then all this shit will be over.
The phone is constantly ringing with people from the Edwards or Obama campaigns (Clinton, thankfully, has not been bothering us). It is always ringing with people from this survey or that survey. All I say now is, "Sorry, we're all surveyed out". People coming to the door and dropping off campaign literature, and invariably, every phone call or visit ends with "And have you decided who you're going to vote for?".
Right now I'm about ready to vote for any candidate who has bothered me the LEAST.
We had a survey call the other night at 10 p.m. My wife was like "Do you have any idea what time it is?"
I appreciate living here and having a chance to see and meet the candidates - not everyone gets that kind of opportunity - but it's getting pretty intense here, and will get only more so over the next 72 hours.
Tuesday can't come soon enough for me.

1. The same thing happened in Iowa but I was one of the canvassers! |
|
Sorry to anyone offended!
It will all be over soon. It is very peaceful in Iowa again. Some of the yard signs are coming down and my phone hasn't been ringing at all.

9. Believe me, after about the ten-thousandth phone call, it stops being fun. |

Here in Iowa.....it was the most insane I have ever seen it. The last 48 hours was the most intense. I had two family members disconnect their phones. I have an unlisted number and couldn't believe the calls I got. I drop kicked at least 3 Obama supporters to the street...and punted one Richardson supporter. The TV was left off... You will enjoy the calm soon.....:)
I sincerely do understand how you feel about supporting the one who bothers you least...I had the same feeling for awhile....too send a message.

6. At least you get a say in who will be the nominee. |
|
I feel more and more like a few people in some relatively small states get to be "king maker," while millions of Californians like me will have no say. I'm so tired of people saying, "if (a candidate other than Obama) doesn't do well in NH, it's the end for him/her." Sorry folks, only 12% of Iowa voted in the caucus and NH is not a big state, so such a small sample of voters does NOT represent the rest of America. NO ONE should be out of the race until all the primaries are over.

I'd love to be polled and called and pursuaded.
I feel ignored living in New York.
