I have to admit, I've never seen this kind of enthusiasm.

The media is definitely trying to pull us all in with this horse race nonsense. I'm working on three campaigns, plus two ballot initiatives, and I really have never seen so many people, many of whom have never been directly involved in "politics," stepping up and canvassing, phone banking, donating. Let's hope it translates in November!
