If you’re free during any part of election day and would like to help get Fournier votes out, I have lists of phone numbers of voters I haven’t called yet and I have an on-line “palm card” template for those who want to do some poll-standing that can be printed right from the web site — www.fournierforcongress.org/palmcard.htm — that I’ll be handing out to voters at the polling places I plan to visit tomorrow. I also have eight lawn signs left.
My impression from talking to voters is that the typical Greater Hartford resident hasn’t been following the congressional election at all, doesn’t know that there are three candidates, and never heard of me (or either of my opponents, including the incumbent). They’re coming out to vote for Obama, but many don’t know that there’s a congressional election. Most people don’t read papers or on-line news, and they will be casting a vote, out of habit, for one or the other major party candidate. Some proportion of them can be influenced by a phone call or a piece of advertising.
Election night celebration, starting about 8:30, is at my house, 74 Tremont St., Hartford. Don’t wait too long. You don’t want to miss McCain’s concession speech at 9. Plus, the Halloween crowd was sparse, and somebody has to eat this candy.
