As Heard While Canvassing

Here's a list of things that I heard while canvassing that I thought were worth sharing. I'll keep adding to this list as I go.

"... I am against AIDS." - An undecided woman describing her thoughts on the issues. I am thinking, "Who is in favor of AIDs?"

"So, who am I voting for again?" - a woman to whom I gave a voter registration card

"I think they're all lu-lus." - a woman I couldn't convince to vote

"I'm all set." - an unlimited number of Republicans that I have met

A contributor is on the phone while myself and my trainer wait. We overhear her say to the caller, "I have to go. I have two democrats in the living room. (pause) No, they're young and attractive."

"Save the environment. Transplant a bush back to Texas." - as shouted by a contributor as he passed by on his bicycle

"Go balloons, go balloons! Go balloons! I don't see anything happening. Go balloons! Go balloons! Go balloons! Standby confetti. Keep coming, balloons. More balloons. Bring it- balloons, balloons, balloons! We want balloons, tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet. No confetti. All right, go balloons, go balloons. We need more balloons. All balloons! All balloons! Keep going! Come on, guys, lets move it. Jesus! We need more balloons. I want all balloons to go, goddammit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more balloons. What's happening to the balloons? We need more balloons. We need all of them coming down. Go balloons- balloons? What's happening balloons? There's not enough coming down! All balloons, what the hell! There's nothing falling! What the fuck are you guys doing up there? We want more balloons coming down, more balloons. More balloons. More balloons'... - DNC Convention Director Don Mischer, live on CNN directly after John Kerry's nomination speech. Hear it here!
