			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writing this while sitting in the <a href="http://www.barackobama.com">Obama</a> <a title="VA for Obama" href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/vahome" target="_blank">Field Office</a> in Alexandria, VA, doing some data entry from last night&#8217;s phone banking (just waiting for a fresh set of data).  <a title="Gavin's Blog" href="http://www.gavinsblog.com/2008/10/30/obama-at-virginia-beach/" target="_blank">Conor &amp; Gavin</a> are off to Virginia Beach to the Obama rally &#8211; try doing some real work, lads! <img src='http://www.keith.gs/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Clocked up another 164 Calls for Victory yesterday (that&#8217;s 558 in total so far), and dropped 500 Leaflets for Victory at the King Street Metro Station.  Now working on the first 500 Data Entries for Victory (that&#8217;s getting a bit pained, isn&#8217;t it?).  Very positive reaction, with very few people not wanting to talk to us (apart from the one guy in an <a title="NRA" href="http://www.nationalrifleassociation.com" target="_blank">NRA</a> baseball cap).</p>
<p>There are two other Irish guys here also volunteering full time on the campaign in Alexandria &#8211; Garrett O&#8217;Dowd (and yes, that&#8217;s a well known FG &amp; Democratic family name!) is one of them.  Also a few Brits around.</p>
<p>Jeff, Dave K, Dave 4E and Stephen took me to an &#8220;All You Can Eat Sushi&#8221; place in Fairfax last night.  I had my doubts about the combination of all-you-can-eat and sushi, but it worked surprisingly well.  And at only $26 (less than €20), it was pretty good value too.</p>
<p><strong>Sign of the Day</strong></p>
<p>Strange sign of the day goes to every Metro station in the greater DC area, which all have these outside:</p>
<div id="attachment_231" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.keith.gs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/dsc00126.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-231" title="Kiss &amp; Ride" src="http://www.keith.gs/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/dsc00126.jpg" alt="Kiss &amp; Ride" width="500" height="304" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Kiss &amp; Ride</p></div>
<p>Now, for American readers, that means something <em>very</em> different in Dublin.  For Irish readers, it means a drop-off point.</p>
