571.  I just left the Manassas office, and as of 6pm there had been 571 canvassers alone, not including the phone bankers, data entry and other office volunteers.

571!  They expected 500 for the entire weekend.

Someone drove by the McCain office 2 blocks away, and there were 2 people there.

We've been building the Democratic ground team in Virginia for each year since 2005.  We are about to reap what we've sown.

a great harvest. Just came from the Fairfax for Obama office, so many phone bankers some had to use their cell phones. Another family brought an entire dinner (including home-baked-from-scratch carrot cake and tasty ribs with black eyed peas) for the volunteers, and hungry volunteers scarfed up every morsel. We need every possible volunteer this Sunday (including night) and Monday for lit drops, phone banks, canvassing. This is serious business. Among other chores, I called undecided voters. The bad news, most were unavailable, but the good news is, of those reached: entire households breaking for Obama. We can't stop now, so kick in for the sprint to the finish.

Every person who had a cell was outside using it.  It was a picture perfect day for weather, and when I would step outside to get more data from the canvassers there were a dozen people sitting everywhere there was a spot with cell phones and phonebank lists.  That is excluding the dozen callers inside the office.

It was off the hook, literally.

I was canvassing in the Swift Run precinct of [red] Greene County today, just as I did last weekend.  When I got back to the canvass launch site in Stanardsville around 4:30pm, I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of the 'undone' turf packets were gone.  Wow.  Just wow.  Some of those packets are turf where no Democrat has ever knocked before.  We had plenty of volunteer canvass people today in Greene.  I asked the canvass launch person what she had done when the supply ran out, and the answer was that 'done' packets were handed out for a 2nd pass on the Not-Home names! Wow. Just wow.  Unprecedented in Greene.  This is basic party-building stuff, not just winning this election.  This ground game will pay dividends again and again.

Today I talked to a number of 'undecideds'.  Actually, I am fairly sure that they are Republicans.  They are struggling with themselves, and are not yet comfortable with voting Democratic this time.  They unanimously agree with me that our country is 'in a mess'.  Their 'undecided' struggle is the soul of our nation, facing the moment of truth.
