As much as I'd like to blame the DirtCon or the republican party, I'm sick with a sinus thing. I suspect a combination of wildly out of whack weather (it was 70, then, 36 hours later, the nighttime lows bottomed out at 25) and the odds just plain running out after a solid run at being healthy (the last time I got sick was after the Tokyo Trip, which was a cold-cold and not a sinus deal, but why split hairs here? I'm sick).

Anyway. My plans of volunteering with some local and regional GOTV efforts are kinda shot-- between me sounding like shit ("Heddo, would you-- ssshhhhnnnrrrkk-- help uds thend Jim Talent-- ssshhhhhnnnnrrrrrkkk kahauk! kahauk!-- home thith Tuethday? Vote McCaskill! Heddo? Heddo?") and feeling like shit, I'm sorta-kinda sidelined for the next little bit.

But hey, don't let that stop you. If you have a phone, and don't sound like death, hook up with a MoveOn.Org phone party near you:

in the next little bit. Over the course of tonight and tomorrow, the final GOTV ground game push kicks off, and while even the most vibrantly red pundit (Pat Buchanan! Seriously!) are predicting a tidal wave on Tuesday (I suspect preemptive expectation-inflating is a GOP-mandated talking point, but whatever), in states like Mizzurah it's coming down to ground game, ground game, ground game. Whomever can get more people out and voting on Tuesday is gonna take the cake, the pie, the house and the senate.

Every bit helps.

Uh, yeah, ok. That's it. Go team. We'll see you Tuesday night.

EDIT

Sniffing and coughing subsided, I volunteered to work with the McCaskill campaign at least tomorrow, if not some today. we'll see what happens.
