What it is really like to work on a campaign: this resident left a note

Okay, this was an unusual find, a sophisticated response to Nevada's surge of canvassers. And here in the Reno area, it is not unheard of to encounter opposing sentiments, including houses that advertise their owners intent to defend their property with their precious firearms.

But those hostile addresses are seldom on our lists. We're talking with people whose voting history, class position, and gender and racial identities suggest they might be open to electing a new Democratic Senator. We know that, if we can increase turnout among people who too often skip voting, Nevada will become more Blue and the country will gain a better Senate.

Over 2000 door-knocks a day by our hardy crew are carrying us toward that goal.
