I apologize that this will not be the most substantive diary, but I wanted to get this out there to everyone who lives in AZ. BIll Clinton is, as of Nov 1, campaigning tonight in Tucson on behalf of the Democratic party. But in a surprise move, he has announced that he will come to Tempe, AZ, home of Arizona State and the fifth congressional district to campaign.
Everything you need is below the fold!
For those of you who haven't seen the polls, Harry Mitchell is currently surging ahead with momentum. Our latest polls show us two points ahead of the despicable anti-semite JD Hayworth. Our race has moved from solid Republician all the way to toss-up, and with the recent endorsement from the Arizona Republic, we are full steam ahead. Please note, this is the first time in 12 years that the AZ Republic has endorsed someone besides JD Hayworth for the seat. Now, with Clinton coming to support us, I feel more confident then ever that with your help we will retake the Arizona 5th and the Congress.
How can you hear Clinton speak? Well we're doing pretty good on volunteers right now, so please don't call the campaign to volunteer for the Clinton event. However we can always use volunteers for GOTV so if you can come, please call.
The event will start at 3:00 roughly, with most of the speakers going on at 3:30. It will be on Hayden Lawn, in the center of the Tempe campus of ASU. For directions, please look at ASU's website or call the campaign. I don't have the main number right now, but will update this tomorrow when I'm manning the phones.
How exctied am I? I could not be more excited. That's why I'm not going. That's right, I'm not going. The reason is that we need someone to man the phones, and I volunteered. Someone has to stay back and give people directions and handle any media inquiries at the home office. I support Harry Mitchell so much that I am giving up the opportunity to see him and Clinton speak so that I can help others get to the event and insure that the event runs smoothly. That's how much I want this event and this campaign to succeed.
Any Questions? That's what comments are for. I'll monitor through out tonight and tomorrow, so fire away.
