Six and a Half to Open...
When you've finally thrown up your hand, Poured your heart out, yet nothing stands
It seems our efforts are wasted, But yet it hasn't been in vain
I'm surprisingly calm considering how close we are to Day 0. Circumstances have let me fall back into my "usual" war room role for this election - it's always nice to come home. I briefly thought this evening that I might be driving down to VA Beach to work out of there, but I was asked to stay in DC much to the chagrin of some of my friends down there.
I've been trying to distract myself. I worked out I e-mailed a few friends. Took a long shower. And yet I know that I'll be lucky to get 3 hours of sleep tonight. I think I got 2 hours of sleep before Kerry, though I did end up taking a short nap on the floor of my office.
Admittedly this election feels a lot less real in some respects, even though I've been more involved nationwide than I had been in any previous role. Through the course of my job I was speaking very regularly to senior-level staff on every major campaign nationwide. And yet I hadn't done any phonebanking or GOTV since the primary in June, and no canvassing since Kaine last year. There's a certain level of guilt that I did very little of the basic level of politicking, even though the work I have been doing for the last year and a half has certainly had a much larger impact. You can take the campaigner out of the field, but you can't take the field out of the campaigner.
Two years of solid efforts are culminating with events tomorrow. We must win - the future of our country depends upon it.
Go. Fight. Win.
