I was called by a McAuliffe campaigner twice now. Both times the person asked me if I knew who I would be supporting for the upcoming VA governor's race, asked me what issues were important, etc. All the normal stuff.
I'm undecided at this point, unsure between McAuliffe and Moran, the two front-runners. On the second phone call the lady at the other end offered to come and meet with me to talk some more about McAuliffe. I was a bit surprised and wondered why they would invest significant time into me (or any one person) this early in the race.
Perhaps they know I was fairly active campaigning for Obama (after the conventions), or they're just looking for all the support they can get. The person who called me ended up being not a random phone bank volunteer as I guessed but the person who will be in charge of McAuliffe's Prince William County effort. I agreed to meet, but need you're suggestions about what to ask.
