Darren, Not to be flip, but notice how this is all about you and how you feel. What about the people being canvassed? Seriously, think about it. Would you want people you don't know knocking on your door all day long. Throw on top of that robo calls, and volunteer calls. Forget the TV, Radio, print, bill boards, etc... It is an invasion of privacy for the voter. I know how it feels - I did canvassing in 2004 in Cleveland. It made ME feel good. I doubt it changed a single mind for my candidate (Kerry). In fact, I'll never forget knocking on the door and finding a 10 year old boy answering the door. He asked who I was supporting and I said Kerry. He asked me what John Kerry's name stood for. Answer JOKE (JOhn KErry). Regards, Shaun “The absolute best part of canvassing out of state was meeting people from different worlds who I never would have met otherwise and really liking them.”

Because we're all U.S. citizens? Because we're not as different as we've been led to believe? The absolute best part of canvassing out of state was meeting people from different worlds who I never would have met otherwise and really liking them. Blogging/Twittering/talking with friends is important, but in most cases you'll be addressing people a lot like yourself, who think a lot like you. As for the voter fatigue, it's totally understandable that people in swing states get overwhelmed, but if Spiderman taught us anything, it's that "with great power comes great responsibility." “This is my issue: Why would a farmer in IN or Iowa or anywhere want to have a discussion about XXXX candidate with someone that does not live in their state and neighborhood.”
