Back in Indiana

Saturday, I went back to Hammond Indiana with the Democratic Party of Evanston. This time, there were 25 of us leaving Evanston. The Hammond Obama office was jammed the whole time we were there. (We went seperately in cars, The car in which I was riding -- with two sisters -- got there fairly early; another car came later, but the ofice was so jammed that they arrived before we could leave.)
Reception in the area I covered was overwhelmingly positive. Most were not home, but more than half of those who were said that they were Obama voters. Many said that they would vote early. I got one volunteer.
The driver had to come back early, so I was there only two or three hours, but we think we made a real difference.
Next Saturday, the effort will be getting out the vote.
If you are in the Chicago area, cars leave the Democratic Party of Evanston at 10:00 A.M.
Or see the directions here for the rendezvous of NDFA.
