NORTH CAROLINA GOTV HALLOWEEN TRIP
after a
month in Boulder Colorado (see the pictures below) I still had not had enough so I headed over to Asheville NC from Knoxville on Thursday to work with the Obama effort in Western NC

Saturday was a truly enjoyable day at Swannanoa GOTV headquarters
This is Whitemont Lodge in Swannanoa
It was a beautiful day in the mountains and you see the volunteers phone banking from the terrace
Our hostess was Nancy Alexander(in red)who provided this unique and beautiful place as the staging area for the 50 Volunteers who spread out across the area canvassing for votes or used their cell phones to phone prospective voters
There was no mistake that this is OBAMA for PRESIDENT headquarters in Swannanoa
This was the corner reserved for the data entry people where I spent most of the day registering the information gathered by the phone and canvassing people in the Vote Builder data base
Even the Smokey Mountain Black Bears are firmly in the Obama camp
Dolly and her partner kept a keen eye on the proceedings from the terrace
As the sun set over the Smokey Mountains to the West it had the feel of the sun setting on the Republican control of the executive in the USA
The Asheville Obama Headquarters was a beehive of activity on Halloween
If Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Nevada, and New Mexico are anywhere near as active and organized as the effort here in North Carolina and the effort in Colorado I cannot see how Obama can lose this election. I am optimistic that a similar effort in Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Georgia, and even Arizona could make this a landslide of amazing results on Tuesday.
Nobody is taking anything for granted. Every effort possible is being made to register every last vote for the Obama Biden campaign here in Western NC and I have to believe that is being duplicated across the battleground states.
If you haven't volunteered in your area or a nearby swing state I strongly urge you to GO NOW and help this amazing effort. There are some wonderful people out there doing everything they can to insure a brighter future for all of us
