Back from Vegas

Return to Vegas


Here it is almost 1 AM again, just returned from walking precincts for McCain – Palin in Clark County Nevada.

This time I scrounged a ride from my friend Vince. I spent the night at his family’s new home in Santa Ana, and Vince drove me to Torrance at 4:45 AM to meet the bus. We had more McCaniacs from Cali this time, so they sent 4 buses! I and 50 or so other volunteers were driven out to HQ in Henderson. We were given maps and rides and food and swag (hats, tee’s stickers), and we walked precincts in Henderson to GOTV for McCain. We had another special guest in the afternoon….America’s Mayor! His Honor Rudy!!! He gave an inspiring speech and we hit the streets with a renewed vigor. That afternoon we were taken to the Embassy Suites, and started again in the morning (with an extra hour sleep thanks to DST).

My partner and I hit almost 400 houses! We were once again fortified by the masses of people supporting us and thanking us for our efforts. The McCain team in Henderson was AWESOME!! They worked so hard to keep us fed, energized, hydrated and organized. Sarah Palin’s parents came by on Sunday and we ended up with over 50,000 contacts for the weekend. BO himself even felt the need to come in on Saturday (I guess it’s closer than they are letting on).

Once again it was refreshing to see so many people in support of a common cause. We had PUMAs on the bus! I remain convinced they will save America’s bacon this time!

This is not over!!
God bless you Pumas and God Bless America!!!
