Anyone know ?

5. Thank "Team Obama" for their incredible dedication and stamina

Volunteers streamed out of that beehive called "the Obama headquarters" on Mentor Avenue and knocked on doors all over Lake County. I saw four canvassers on my street in suburbia and I am sure I missed a few more.

They got the registration and absentee balloting done and called people to talk them into voting Democratic.

At the end of the day, Democrat Mark Schnieder had replaced first termer Carol Schindel in a "Republican" district that stretched from bedroom-boomtown Mentor to the farms of Madison.

Take your bows! You're the heros!!
