This is my first diary. I have always been a little too intimidated to post. Be gentle. I work in visual design, so these things called words don't flow too easily.

I actually wanted to post this in the beginning of the week, but the bright shiny object named Sarah Palin took hold, and I sidelined my diary. I slapped my face, woke up, and here I am, writing about canvassing for Barack Obama's Campaign for Change Office in Reno, Nevada over Labor Day Weekend. I will try to give you an idea of the types of voters we came across, with a couple sample stories from each area we canvassed in.

Nevada is hugely important this year. Today, Al Giordano called it one of the Apocalyptic 8. And just yesterday, msblucow posted her Southern California diary, highlighting trips to Nevada.
