I spoke with many if not most of the people in our caravan from Los Angeles to Vegas this past weekend. Every single one of them has NEVER worked for a campaign in this way. This was a bit evident when we were dropped off in the subdivisions of Henderson and spent a good bit of the time trying to figure out where we were and which house we needed to hit next. One of the main reasons I am returning and I know my fellow traveller Dustin is returning is we feel we got it figured out by Sunday. It would be a waste to not go back where we could be more efficient this time. I also know what to bring and not to bring : In the do not bring column- DVD player in the bring column- more energy bars and lots more of my instant green tea. I also may consider a different pair of shoes as my heel was rubbed raw and a bloody sock was evidence of my effort upon return. I have asked several of my friends who are equally committed to the cause if they wish to join me next weekend. None of them can. They have lives. They have children. They have responsibilities as do I and the others on the bus. This is our disadvantage. I realized that much of Obama's canvasing is being done by college students. They don't have lives with responsibilities yet. They can afford to go door to door dropping off pamphlets and talking about hope and change and change and hope. They obviously are receiving too many government college grants or government backed student loans or at the very least don't have enough homework. Here is IMAO's take

Oddly enough, two college students in our group agreed it might be a good idea for the country. I think you haven't lived a life at 18 yet. You have very little wisdom. You have very little perspective on life in general. Come to think of it, it will never work, make it 30.
