One thing I would add to Stacy’s post about shoe leather…

is that when you meet people face to face there is a different dynamic, you build up contacts who can inform you that can really add to your knowledge of events.

Dan is a good guy who is making some good points but without being there the feel of the district is not conveyed:

Scott: “Mister Spock, the ship feels wrong.”
Spock: “‘Feels’, Mister Scott?”
Scott: “I know it doesn’t make sense. Instrumentation reads correct, but the feel is wrong. It’s something I can’t quite put into words.”

And it’s that feel that leads to a lot of good things.

Some Thank yous

There are a lot of Thank you’s that I’d like to give at the moment.

First for the lonely conservative and her Husband who were great hosts and treated us like kings

The Ann Marie Buerke supporters who gave us a lot of access felt very welcome.

To Bill Jacobson and his wife who gave us internet access and Pizza when we needed it to get a hot report up.

Stacy and Bill

The people at McDonalds in Hancock NY who gave us a lot of time to post and charge

The manager at Friendly’s in Gettysburg Pa for talking to me about her district (pa-19)

To Joe Van Dalsum who I enjoyed talking to so much

To all the tip jar hitters who paid for the rental

To Stacy McCain’s wife who made me Tea

To my friend Steve’s wife who let me recharge my PC at their place

To the nice ladies in Endicott NY who gave me so much of her time and a friendly waitress who served me great cream of turkey soup.

To Hughey Woodring who not only knows more about politics than I will ever learn but is an incredible host

To Ladd Ehlinger Jr for his kindness to my Son

To the readers for giving me my biggest month ever (and we have 11 days still to go)

And to God for getting me home safe

I talked to Joe at the end of the press conference on October 18th

I’ve heard Joe’s complaint repeated over and over again when I am writing and even when I’m just at the diner having a bite. It’s the new people getting involved that makes all the difference
