Yep. We had six callers all told, though one friend couldn't come till the end and only made a few calls (I made her dinner, too, because she came straight from work and she had to go vote after and also take care of a sick father). We made 432 calls, 152 of them by one young woman who is just 21 (and therefore missed out on the 2000 election by a few months). We didn't reach many voters: 143, of whom most had already voted. Another friend got all the "I'm not gonna vote" calls, and I was really glad I didn't, because I listened to her and I couldn't believe anything we could have said would have made a difference an hour before polls closed.
It's midnight back East, and 9:00 here, and I think Bush is going to have a narrow win, and it makes me ill to think how they're going to spin that, what mandate he's going to claim.
I hope I wake up to find that I'm wrong. But all of the many states who had initiatives to ban gay marriage seem to have voted them in by a wide margin -- and for some reason that seems to be a weather sign.
