I haven't been around much. I've been a bit busy, but I have a moment here while campaign manager is picking up volunteers at the Beacon train station and rounding up lipris to come to the HQ.
So...a state senate race comes down to the last weekend. I'm tired, but enthused. I'm nervous, but confident. I'm encouraged and humbled.
The people who have rallied to this state race in the Hudson Valley are amazing. Lipris has been here for weeks, mindoca is heading up here tomorrow, am is campaign leader and glevine is the best campaigner I've ever seen. BCM is doing driving duties and we had Larry in NYC drive up a car load last weekend. We have an army of about ten heading up to canvass this weekend....
and...we've raised about 100k for this first time candidate in a sleepy district to run against a 26 year Albany fixture.
This is truely People Powered, and I personally am so moved by the outpouring of effort by everyone involved.
Whatever happens Tuesday, this is be a life defining experience, and if anyone in the future asks you to join a campaign like ours, JUMP AT THE CHANCE. You will not regret it.
Lipris will be blogging this weekend, I'm sure, as he will be on Tuesday night.
I just wanted to drop in and give everyone a HUGE thank you and thumbs up before this, the final push. We have made you proud.
LET'S WIN THIS THING!
