This guy--Gavin C Schmitt--has a better understanding of modern world events than most. I need to read him more carefully. I found him because he commented on the fact that I put the wrong picture up on the Ron Paul post. He's on LJ, let me go find his handle....

Edit: unlocked. Also, GCS's handle is gavin6942

Well, as far as campaigning goes, I wouldn't cold-call people. I was against this from the beginning and told them so.

I did it a few times (made about 1800 calls) and I just didn't feel right about it. For every person who had increased name recognition or had a question or concern addressed, there were five that were very upset that they were being solicited.

So, I wouldn't do that. I'll focus much more on yard signs, because I strongly believe that's what drives most people to vote.

yard signs!!!?

Wow. I must confess, I do look up the unknowns that advertise in my neighborhood. And sometimes I vote for them, if what I find is in line with my values. I think having a truly informative website is key. And I also think travelling and speaking and visiting the locals on their home grounds is important...
