So we woke up to a torrential downpour and lightening. A crack of thunder awoke me with a start this morning at 6:15 AM.
Around 8 AM, when I ran some errands for my wife, I passed by the DCCC's office here in Baton Rouge, and saw that AWESOME sight of local folks waiting for their assignments, and getting ready to go remind their neighbors that it's Election Day. Which can only mean one thing ... time to go vote to send a Democrat to represent the 6th CD for the first time in 33 years ... and have the Capital Region represented by a Democrat for the first time since 1997!
For those of y'all worried about the turnout in the African-American neighborhoods ... I saw these signs all over the African American neighborhoods I drove through running those same errands this morning. Yes, they have the disclaimer of who it was paid for. That's what the little white box is all about on the lower left hand side. That sight warms me heart, as it means that former State Senator Cleo Fields has put his operation to work to get out the vote int the African American neighborhoods here in Baton Rouge. Ditto for Joe Delpit in North Baton Rouge.
As I said, it's a beautiful day here the Capital Region, and that will help us with the turnout battle. I'm about to head out and knock on some doors, and will let y'all know how that goes by the time polls close.
