I'm on I-95 barrelling South to Charleston, SC to canvas for Ron Paul. There are four of us from the Triangle Ron Paul Meetup group going and hope to get a few more later in the week. The South Carolina primary is this Saturday and we're hopeful we can improve the ~10% results Dr. Paul has gotten in the primaries so far. Today is Michigan primary and from what we hear Paul will get 4th ahead of Giuliani and Thompson.
When I say we're canvassing for Ron Paul I mean the others in the car are. I did canvassing for Kerry in 2004 and found it excruciating. (Especially since I knew I'd be voting third party anyway...I just hated Bush that much.) I often prefer not to talk to people I like so knocking on a complete stranger's door and initiating a conversation is just not something I'm built for. I will offer to do logistics or computer stuff or just about anything else for the campaign that doesn't involve ringing doorbells.
I didn't decide to go until today. I'm not sure what this week will hold, but it should be an adventure. Wish me luck!
