• Portland Kerry Rally

  Julie and I just got back from the Kerry rally at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, OR. According to the Kerry Blog, there were ca. 60,000 people at the rally. Julie and I waited till the last minute to go, and for a while there thought we wouldn’t get in. But we did, and heard the second half of Kerry’s speech. As we made our way through the city afterward, we overheard some other folks saying they’d arrived at 8:30 and never got in. We felt very fortunate. I think it was just dumb luck to have found the entrance we did.

• MoveOn.org Voter Registration Party

  We just hosted our first MoveOn.org voter registration party. (You are registered to vote, aren’t you? If not, register register here.) Julie did all the hard work of organizing the party, preparing the munchies, going through MoveOn’s rather overwhelming and confusing instructions to make things simple for the rest of us, and getting the lists of unregistered voters to call. She’s great at the organizational stuff, and that the party was a success is due to her hard work.

• Only One Scandal
