Hopeful tidbit from a state Dem meeting....

[CoffeeCat]

I attended a Iowa Democratic Party meeting today, to sign up as a volunteer.

One of the speakers mentioned that absentee ballots were rolling in--in
EXTREMELY high numbers. He went on to say that 2 out of 5 absentee
ballots collected, were from an interesting Democratic demographic--registered Dems
who vote infrequently and rarely in off-year elections.

For 2 out of 5 absentee ballots to come from this group--and to come in so
early, before the election--is fricking amazing.

I was injected with some real hope during this meeting. The large room was
packed with college students, senior citizens and every age in between. People
were signing up to volunteer--left and right--and there was an electricity
in the air.

Although this is only an anecdotal story from one state, I can feel it in the air.
Democrats can't wait to vote out these sick, sorry, scary incompetent Republican fools and
take back their country.

I believe there will be a tidal wave of Democratic votes this November that will
capsize the Republican ship of fools. I felt the energy this afternoon. Something
is different this time.

2. Curious about where the meeting was heldd

We have requested our absentee ballots (Cedar County) but haven't yet received them. We leave to spend winter in Arizona on 10-22, so we aren't home to vote. Plus, I like making a real mark on a real ballot. We do have campaign signs out by our driveway. I'd be interested to hear about your speakers, who they were, what else they had to say.
