It sounds like we're pretty much "there" with petition signatures for Jim Webb as we head into the last few days (petitions must be turned in Friday afternoon). Now, we need to keep collecting signatures so that we have a nice cushion at the end, just in case some signatures are challenged or thrown out. If you can collect 10, 25, 50, or whatever, over the next few days, that would be great. The 5th and 9th districts are particularly important. Any questions, please contact me at lowell@raisingkaine.com, Pete at dalessandro23@comcast.net or Lee at ldiamond@webbforsenate.com. Thanks.
By the way, it's very important to emphasize that this will have been done almost entirely by the grassroots, not with paid canvassers who can charge $1.50 per signature or more. That, right there, pretty much encapsulates the difference between the Webb and Miller campaigns - bottom up vs. top down, grassroots vs. "professional," enthusiasm vs. lack thereof, etc. Obviously, I prefer the former to the latter. How about you?
