I'm canvassing in NH today... A Bernie supporter just threw a snowball at me!

Yes it actually happened, luckily I know the guy from high school... So of course I retaliated... And then the Jeb! canvassers came by and ruined all the fun.

Damn elections, ruining potentially amazing snowball fights everywhere.

On a side note there are some great snow men in my turf, impressive work kids.

If you are off this weekend... Get out there and get people to turn out!

I would have believed you saw a purple cow, before I believe there is a such thing as a JEB! canvasser.

I am trucking around in about 6 inches of snow currently, the heavy wet stuff. So bring your gear.

Of course it is New Engand so it could be 66 tomorrow and be a mud fest.

So I'll bring the winter gear with some shorts and sun tan lotion just in case.

Thank you for working for Bernie in NH.

Canvassing is hard work, but the effort is paid off in spades.

Even if you hit a Clinton supporter--you have just shown them that someone was willing to trudge out into the snow and canvass for Bernie. It bodes well for the campaign. It sends a message. It shows that the campaign has enthusiasm behind it.

It's a connection that you make with a voter! It makes a huge difference.

Carry on, you rock!

...but maybe it was all in fun.

but that did not stop jeb! from parading her around. trolling for the sympathy vote?

if i did not completely loathe the entire bush cabal---er, family, i would say its sad...but they are not above even exploiting their own for more power.

excuse me, i need to wretch now...where did i put that damn bucket?......
