The volunteer lawyers for Kerry in Pinellas County didn’t have anything particularly legal for us to do today, so they sent us out canvassing in St. Petersburg. Zinester and I took our list and headed out to Kenwood Circle near the Five Points neighborhood in St. Pete.
We had a list of Kerry-friendly voters - all registered Democrats, purged of known absentee ballot voters and known Bush-supporters. We didn’t expect many people to be home, but the response was far better than we imagined. Not only were there a lot of people home on a Monday afternoon, but they all knew their polling places and intend to vote tomorrow. And they didn’t say it in that “I’ll-say-anything-to-get-you-off-my-porch” sort of a way. Floridians are ready to get out and vote; I don’t think anything could stop them.
