Boucher Luncheon

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. -- Margaret Mead

It wasn't hard to spot the Giles for Obama folks at the Rick Boucher Luncheon in Pearisburg Saturday. They were the ones with all the Obama gear. Jim Smith emailed me afterwards that one of his canvasees was there--a great sign.

Boucher spent most of his time in his speech persuading the audience to vote for Obama. I was amazed at how he did this speech without even looking at any notes. McCain can't do that!


Boucher brought these new yard signs--we have a few extra. Obama should benefit by being linked with Mark Warner who is polling 60-30 against his opponent and with Boucher who is unopposed.

After the luncheon, James, Martha, Ben, and I did some canvassing. I got emails later that Jim S. and Dorothy are doing canvassing on their own. We are all finding undecided voters so this canvassing is helping.

A very interesting blog, full of reasons not to vote for McCain Does this not run contrary to Obama's desire to talk up the positives, not to attack the opponent? Pretty weak on substance, and we have all seen enough exuberance from both sides to last a lifetime. Jimmy Carter redux.

I enjoy your nature blog
