This afternoon I spent about 3 hours going door to door here in Colorado for GOTV efforts.
I went to the Obama office around 1 pm. They handed me a list of name and some hand outs (including bumper sticks and lawn signs) and off I went.
It was all pretty easy because now the list of names they provide are known supporters and people who have said they will support the president probably though his web page or facebook. So those who answered the door were 90% happy to see me. There was one or two nutters in there .. one was listed as an 87 year old supporter, but she was a 30 something Romney-file.

So in our crazy GOTV effort here in CO, of course we want people to vote by mail or vote early. A lot of the households I visited today were listed as early vote ... that is, they didn't get a mail in ballot. That means, if they don't get out early, they are going to be in a mess come election day.
Those who I talked to were going to vote, but didn't seem too aware that there was early voting or that early voting in CO ends this Friday (November 2).
I urge everyone, not just those in CO, to volunteer a few hours in these remaining days to knock on doors. I went to 65 houses in 3 hours ... and while I am tired, I feel good about myself. I want to do it again and again ..!
