I'm going to start running these diaries and hope they take off. We're all loving the polls right now, but we can't get complacent. I'm hoping we can get a great collaboratively edited how-to-help going, saving everybody time and getting volunteer hours out into the field. People in similar areas can find each other in the comments.
It's put up or shut up time, people. If the ground game (aka, you) materializes like it's supposed to, we will win.
First draft at the clearinghouse below, hopefully people post content to improve it with soon.
Ok, so we're all feeling pretty good about the polls right now. We've gotta stay ahead though, and we've got a good Obama bounce right now due to the need for a capable president in light of recent events. Here's how we each spend one night volunteering before the debates in a week.
How to Volunteer
