They try to firm up the committed support by encouraging early voting up until the deadline, then they change tactics and go after those undecided voters in the last days leading up to the election. I would have thought that the deadline for early voting has passed (2 weeks before the election). If you continue to volunteer, the intensity will pick up in the last days. We selected a community that was primarily Republican (Ohio had an open primary) and had some very interesting discussions with undecided and committed Republican voters. Your observation about the staffers is an indication that more of us need to get involved at the point where these tactics are being developed. - Roger Madison Jr. Mon, 28 Apr 2008 06:53:47 +0100
