Nasty! And happy.

I started doing these just after the last debate. Totally ran out of supplies within a couple of days. New supply of parts arrived this morning, and I just delivered a couple hundred more buttons to our local campaign office, where I was told that people have seen them and have come in looking for them. And it turns out that our office volunteers are VERY good at persuading those button-seekers to help with canvassing and phone-banking. Who'da thunk that little buttons could become campaign currency! So now I don't feel so bad about not being able to canvass any more. But I'm giving my arm the night off, methinks it will be another busy weekend at the button machine.
