I'd like to think my canvassing has a little bit to do with Obama's win in WI, but then I'd be lying to myself. Maybe I helped one or two people get to the polls, but in all honesty I felt that I was mostly just bugging folks. I know that I kept myself from gnawing off my remote control hand, that's for sure. I would have been jumping out of my skin if I'd stayed home.
Most of the reason I went out to canvass and wave signs was to absolve myself of guilt. Guilt about being a talker and not a doer. Guilt about pledging money and not actually writing the check. Guilt about not donating my time earlier. Because if you get up at 5 AM on election day, that totally makes up for weeks of laziness, right? Right?!
