Very hectic. All the stops are being pulled out on the ground here in Alexandria. Unlike the Florida McCain office that FiveThirtyEight (the bible on polls, by the way), photographed tonight, I can assure you, having just left it, that the Obama Field Office in Alexandria, VA, is still working. That’s 1am local time. There [...]
Writing this while sitting in the Obama Field Office in Alexandria, VA, doing some data entry from last night’s phone banking (just waiting for a fresh set of data). Conor & Gavin are off to Virginia Beach to the Obama rally – try doing some real work, lads! Clocked up another 164 Calls for Victory [...]
Spent most of today phonebanking for Obama at the campaign’s Alexandria HQ. The response in the city is very strongly pro-Obama, so it’s important to get the vote out. What was really good to see was the huge number of people who’ve voted early in order to avoid queues on election day (which were apparently [...]

Watching the debate live. John McCain just got the Irish Corporation Tax rate wrong – again. Back in the first debate, he said it is 11% – it’s not. It’s 12.5%. You’d think someone would have updated his speaking notes by now. Update: Video from C-Span, it’s 10 seconds in. MSNBC failed to note this, [...]
That was quick.
The Looney Left has worked out what Sarah Palin really is…
