Dem despair?
Posted by Sierra Michels-Slettvet at November 2, 2004 09:41 PM

I left work early today to canvas for MoveOn.org. Beautiful moment: we were visiting a boy at a house near mine who our records showed had not yet voted, knocked on his door, but got his roommates instead.

They let us in, down to his room, where we knocked again and prodded him to go vote, after a few minutes of discussion he grabbed his ballot out of the trashcan and walked down to the local precinct. Victory.

So I'm sitting in a friend's living room now, and Florida just got called for Bush and people are starting to panic, the sentiment seems to be to drink into oblivion if Bush wins.
