What the hell is going on here?!?!?!?!

Okay, I don't get it. I really don't get it!

Yep, those with really sensitive eyes might want to turn away now because I'm about to do some serious VENTING!!!!

At first the week started out fun. I had just gotten home from the Nauvoo Singles conference for my church and it really recharged my batteries, so I was ready to really work on the Obama campaign. So first thing Monday, I went with Lizzy to MCC so we could get some more signatures from the students and faculty for our petitions for satellite voting booths (for early voting) at various places around the county, including MCC. As we went all over campus, I told Lizzy about some of my experiences at MCC, first as a music major, and then as an Administrative and Office Support major. We ended up at the choir room, getting a signature from Jan Phillips, MCC Music Director/Muscatine Civic Chorale director, and of course she razzed me a bit for not being a part of the Civic Chorale concert this time around. I admit I told her a half truth, that I was busy with Murder By Poe, and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to juggle both the play and Civic Chorale. I just didn't tell her I also was going to be busy volunteering with the Democratic Party.

So that was Monday. Tuesday was pretty uneventful, and yesterday was probably the wtf day so far this week.

Yesterday, I got there around ten am and started with preparing mailings. When that was done, I started making calls around my precinct and other places. For the first time since I got started this time around, I got yelled at by someone, got a lecture how I shouldn't be asking people how they're going to vote come November, and was told by someone else that they weren't going to vote at all. But the call that really took the cake was the last one I made before going to meet my mom at the hairdresser's.

This woman, Mandy*, was a fellow Edwards supporter during the caucus days (like Yours Truly), and she said she was leaning toward McCain because she's curious about Sarah Palin.

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

She basically told me (after I tried oh so gently to persuade her to our side, even appealing to the common link we share as fellow former Edwards gals) that if she had to vote tomorrow, she'd vote for McCain. After I got off the phone and was gathering my junk, I vented to Lizzy a bit and gave her the gist of the call. She was understandably shocked. I'm running out of ideas to bring these people to our cause.

We can't have four more years of Republican policy. We just can't!!!!!!!

Slan go foill...
