In the flurry of all there is left to do in the final 36 hours, I wanted to take a moment to scribble a note of thanks from Ned, our campaign staff, and me ... to you.
Thank you.
When Ned got into this race, most people thought it was impossible, but important. The primary campaign provided us an opportunity to put Iraq on the ballot on a national stage. And in the face of wholesale opposition from nearly every organ of party infrastructure, we won.
I'll never forgot returning to this site "the day after" and watching the hope and optisism that came with the netroots "first real victory." You were the first to rally behind Ned, and most of you have stuck with us all the way ... even as the keepers of conventional wisdom tell us, again, there is no chance.
Whatever happens tomorrow, this wasn't our first fight together, and it certainly won't be our last. On August 8, we shocked the world, and I believe in my heart of hearts, if we hit on every note tomorrow we'll do it again.
You are about to witness a freight-train of grassroots support unleashed upon the state of Connecticut in these final thirty-six hours. We've spent nine months building up to these final day and a half ... and now we're here.
Will it be enough? We'll see. But I know one thing, every body helps. Every minute of participation is critical. On that note:
If you can volunteer tomorrow, let us know
If you can email five people in CT and ask them to vote for Ned, please do

Update [2006-11-6 19:47:49 by ttagaris]: If you are from NYC or anywhere near the SW corner of Connecticut, we need you tomorrow.
We need poll-standers in the Stamford area tomorrow. We need them early early early in the morning, and we need them in the hours before the polls close. Frankly, if you have an hour or two to spare at any point in the day, your help is critical.
Simply email the following address or call. We'll be up all damn night, so your call is welcome at any hour.

We're going to pull this one out, folks. Joe made the mistake of tipping his field programs hand in the 4th CD today on his blog. They included a photo (now made private, but not before I caught it) that had a list of their poll-standers scheduled in the 4th CD. I blew it up, and it's not pretty. They are going to need many more people doing serious voter education with that crossword-like ballot placement.
We need you NYC Kossacks to step up ... again. One last time.
