Canvassing in Erie, PA

Folks: Just got back from a day of canvassing in a middle-class white
suburb of Erie -- Millcreek -- for Barack. Results were very good. My
canvassing partner and I talked face to face to about 40 people and
ID'd 19 Obama supporters, 3 undecided and 6 McCain. The "traditional"
white Democrats in this neighborhood were very enthusiastic about Obama
and Obama/Biden signs were sprouting like mushrooms.

HOWEVER, the Erie staff is genuinely concerned that McCain could take
Pennsylvania, and they need volunteers badly. I know thatObama HQ in
Chicago is currently asking people from upstate NY to go to PA rather
than OH. So, if you can't go as far as Ohio, but want to make a big
difference, how about Erie next weekend? Or, if possible, Monday Nov.
3 and/or election day?

This thing is NOT over. Do NOT flake out. If you can volunteer, DO IT!
