Today was a fairly interesting day. At first I thought I was going to go door-to-door in the morning. However, I was quickly pulled off that list in order to accompany a few staffers out to a Club For Growth Press Conference outside the South Carolina State Capital (pretty cool, huh?). So I met up with our Coalitions Director, Joe Cella, and a few other people from the McLean office to walk to the capital. I learned the purpose of this CFG conference was essentially in order to inform people that Mike Huckabee should not be voted for because he has the most abysmal fiscal record ever witnessed by a Republican candidate. This was a pretty fun activity since I got to see Pat Toomey and Dick Armey. We handed out some fliers which have a comparison of candidates on fiscal policy and immigration policy. Someone was handing out cigars with a flier highlighting Huckabee's flip flop on the smoking ban - which I personally thought was hilarious!
When I got back to the office, Finnegan grabbed me to go door to door. I was pretty excited about going door to door because I have never done it before - so at the very least today was a day I got to do two new things. We headed over to Lexington, SC (a suburb of Columbia) and to a quaint little neighborhood. I'm not going to lie when I say there is something a bit sketchy about going from one house to the next giving out information (as well as anyone's intentions may be). One interesting occasion was when I met the self proclaimed "neighborhood snoop". Needless to say when she saw two guys walking around in trench coats around young kids (that had the COOLEST skateboards ever) she was like "who are you? I am the neighborhood snoop!" Overall, it was a pretty fun and exciting event and it was fun to have my first door to door experience.
Only a few more days until the primary!
Only one more day until Vanderbilt dominates UT.
