Spent a few hours today in Hernando, MS distributing most of the rest of my slim jims. It's outside of my precinct but there are some good neighborhoods there with a high density of houses. I hit about 300 of them with two slim jims each, a mix of gun owners, pro-life, free enterprise, conservative, and securing the borders.
I can't say that I hit every single house in my precinct, but I got all of the easy neighborhoods that I could walk and spent one afternoon driving between some of the more isolated houses. I'd say I hit about 5 or 6 hundred houses.
I now have three unopened 100 packs of slim jims left, one each of pro-life, gun rights, and Independent. If I can take off a bit early from work tomorrow I might try and find one more good neighborhood to distribute these to. If not I'll make sure and forward them to someone in a State that hasn't voted yet.
Tuesday I'll be working at the polls, so I won't be able to do any campaigning. I have a couple of yard signs that I can bring and set up on the approach to the polling station early in the morning; 4 of the signs I've set up in the last two weeks have now gone missing. However, I see no other signs for any other presidential candidate either.
I can't say I've done every last thing I could for this campaign, but I can honestly say I won't ever look back with regrets and wish I had had the courage to do what I could.
Now the real work begins....
Edit: I almost didn't go out today, it took a bit of effort to make myself do this since the consensus is that John McCain has the nomination wrapped up. I'm glad I did though, like I said, I don't want to have regrets when things start getting really bad that I was too lazy to pass out the rest of the campaign literature I already paid for. The three packs I have left over are some that were given to me from a supporter in Florida, so if I end up passing those on I won't feel too guilty.
But there's always tomorrow... ;)
