First day in South Carolina was pretty exciting. After hearing the great news about our numbers in the polls and the great turnout in Simpsonville, it seems as if South Carolinians are starting to respond to Fred's consistent conservative message. We had a ton of phone calls where people seemed very enthusiastic about coming to see Fred and certainly voting for him on Saturday.
Around 5 pm, I ventured out towards Sticky Fingers for a Meet Fred event we were having in Columbia. The turnout for this event was also fantastic. The capacity of the location was 260 and we got a conservative 300 in the building. I was happy to meet up with fellow Nashville office friends: Bob Davis and Bobbie Murphy. Fred was rockin' at this event answering questions with a level of specificity that is rarely seen on a Presidential campaign. He answered questions about illegal immigration, the economy, and national security with usually a 5-7 minute response that hit points that no other candidate has touched on. For example, on the economy question, Fred analyzed various markets including the Dow Jones, mortgages, automobile loans, corporate taxes, public vs. private dichotomy, etc. Seeing that much conviction in his policies and certainly that level of interests are things that prove his viability as a candidate.
After the event, a couple of us stayed over at Sticky Fingers in order to sample some South Carolina BBQ. Now usually I have a problem with BBQ places that make theirs too sweet. So, I have learned to order the dry rubbed stuff and then put BBQ sauce on it if I so prefer. Sticky Fingers wasn't all that bad. The ribs were not as tender as I like them to be, but the seasoning was fantastic. They also had a very nice mustard BBQ sauce and a very unsatisfying Tennessee Whiskey sauce. Either way, after not having eaten all day, I was glad to eat something.
We got back to the office at about 8:30 and it was time to stuff collateral into plastic baggies for people to take when they go door-to-door tomorrow. It was nice having the Vandy crew (Gaske, Allison, and myself) cranking out hundreds of packets at a time. Go Dores. I was here until about 11:30, got home and then went to sleep.
Until tomorrow!
PS The Titans fired Norm Chow? really?
