Canvassing in Maryland

I spent part of today canvassing in Maryland. I went door to door to known Democrats, just to give a quick reminder to go to the polls. It was a real GOTV effort. I spoke in person to about twenty people, give or take, and most were quite enthusiastic and happy to see me, no one was hostile or rude. The experience gives me a good feeling about Tuesday even if current polls are not encouraging.

Well today I spent some time making some calls for the Maryland Democrats. It went pretty well. I got a lot of people just hanging up, of course, all unsolicited calls face that. But those who did speak with me were overwhelmingly for supporting Cardin and O'Mally and were quite enthusiastic. And by overwhelmingly, I mean that only a few people were undecided or noncommittal. Many were quite strong in their support. So today's calls give me a bit more confidence that we Democrats will win both the Maryland governor's mansion and the Maryland Senate seat.
