yes, yes, I know.

A lot of people have been asking about the speech -- details are forthcoming, I promise.

For now, I'm busy, busy, busy getting ready for Get Out the Vote (GOTV) weekend, where everything gets bigger and faster and crazier. Also, it's when weird things start happening.

Like, for example, today, one of our staging locations (the place where we tell volunteers to meet, and where we set up little makeshift offices, phone banks, and canvassing centers for the 4 days before the election) was shut down. For "code violation."

Ok, so. This staging location was all fine and set to go up until now -- it had been an office before, and it was being used as an office now, everything was set with the landlord, everyone was fine.

Except, oh, wait, the precinct that the office was in is super Republican. Like, mean, angry Republican land. So, you know, obviously, "code violation."

The dirty tricks begin. In the past, Obama organizers have come to their offices to find the locks superglued shut, or to find all of their cars blocked in by other cars on election day. Windows broken, eggs thrown, things stolen/vandalized.

Add Halloween to the mix, and I'll be surprised to find the building intact tomorrow morning.

It's going to be crazy, and we're going to have to think on our feet and adapt quickly, but I'm excited and confident, even though I have absolutely no idea what to expect.

Thanks to all of you who are coming down to PA. So many people responded to my call to action/shaming diatribe! Those of you who are not coming down to PA -- well, we can still be friends.
