We have several close races in Northern Virginia where we need every door-knocker and phone-banker we can get.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN THE METRO D.C. AREA, WE NEED YOU TO VOLUNTEER!

In the Dranesville District portion of Fairfax County, the following campaigns to go help at doors and on phones:

Delegate Kathleen Murphy (HD-34):
Please contact Robert Campeau at (616) 916-2557, or by e-mail at Robert.L.Campeau@gmail.com

Jennifer Boysko for Delegate (HD-86):
Please contact Jesse Spodak at (301) 461-5654 or by e-mail at jesse@jenniferboysko.com

Supervisor John Foust (Dranesville):
Please contact Chris Atkins at (540) 333-0190 or e-mail at atkinsc@vt.edu

If you want, feel free to PM me, too.

It's the home stretch, and none of these is 100% safe for us right now, and doors and phones matter most.

I don't have a lot of time to do diaries, but on this relatively leisurely Saturday morning I decided to do this one, after my drafted comment on it grew so long I realized it's better as its own separate thing.

Here's the link: http://www.democracycorps.com/...

This is my first diary in a very long time, I usually just don't have time to do them. But I have a semi-coherent set of ideas on where the Republican primaries are headed, including some thoughts that I haven't seen others make, either here or in the political media. So it's worth laying it out here.

I've lived in Northern Virginia just over a year after a long residency in D.C., and the past year I've been in McLean represented in Virginia House District 34 by an excellent Democratic Virginia House Delegate, Margi Vanderhye. Margi has been surprisingly effective as a freshman Delegate after first winning her seat in 2007, but is under attack from Beltway Republicans. This Saturday morning, September 19, at 10:00 a.m., you can come help!

Rasmussen lately, even as its national daily tracking shows an Obama decline into a virtual dead heat with McCain, has had a series of great state polls for Obama in June and July.

Today continued the trend.

I am a strong Obama supporter. Granted, I was once, last summer, a soft supporter, although still strong enough to give $250 at that time. But I've given $500 total at this point to the Obama campaign, a significant sum for me even if it came in mostly much smaller increments. I voted for Obama in the February 12 D.C. primary. I would have been there for the D.C. pre-primary caucus in January but for a wife who then was nearly 9 months pregnant and a house we were hurriedly getting ready to put on the market for sale. It broke my heart, but I had to skip the caucus that day.

And for all that, I would be ready to demand, sadly, that Obama drop out, if only...... (more below the jump)

I was taking a peek at National Review's blog "The Corner" today to see if there was any inside info on turnout and private expectations for today's Florida Rethug primary, and I ran across some comments that stunned me. Keeping in mind that as partisans they're always going to exude the utmost confidence about their ideas and candidates, it's worth reprinting here how they are afraid of Obama.

The standard disclaimer: "I apologize if this has already been diaried and I missed it."

Disclosure: I'm am a strong Barack Obama supporter.

And among the reasons why: Hillary dissembles in calling herself "more experienced" than her rivals.

Yes, this is controversial, and some will say sexist. It's not. It's a legitimate issue to discuss and a legitimate point to make. And I'm open to being proven wrong and admitting it. But anyone arguing the point who wants to persuade me or others better prove it and not make unfounded assumptions or empty assertions. And if Hillary is the nominee you better really be able to argue the point, because the Republicans will attack her claim of "experience" furiously, plausibly, and with more voters than we'd like, successfully.
