It has been a long time since I had anything of value to add to this site but I think the following is quite interesting. I am a die hard liberal who worked on President Obama's campaign in Georgia in 2008. While our state did not quite go blue my county went 51% for Obama. Since then I have moved to Virginia and I became involved in the president's re-election campaign last spring. For the last 9 months we have made volunteer recruitment calls and done a lot of voter registration-nothing too exciting. But last week we got a new assignment-making persuasion calls. This is where we randomly call Virginia households and ask if they know who they will be supporting in 2012 and why. I was a little nervous at first-it is obviously a lot easier to talk to strong democrats and supporters of the president than random households. But after calling over 100 households personally and 300 as a group, I have a little insight into the GOP.
