The other day I was watching Jeapordy and every single commercial was a political ad. Living in Ohio, with it’s swing state status, I now realize how a high school chearleader must feel. So popular, everyone wanting my attention (and my vote).
We get people knocking on our door almost every weekend, and the amount of voice mail from people reminding us to vote has been staggaring. It’s starting to piss me off.
The swing state status benefit paid off yesterday as I was able to attend a John Kerry rally that also had Bruce Springsteen play two songs acoustically. He played “Promised Land” and “No Surrender,” and both songs never seemed more important. He also spoke about why he’s chosen to endorse Kerry, and how he believes that America can be a better place.
As we left the rally, we had to walk through a crowd of Bush supporters on both sides of us. They were yelling at us with such venom, calling me a baby killer, a faggot, just about every nasty thing in the book. Hopefully their hatred will one day heal.
