Listen, I figured I would hear a lot more of this on the doors -- but in general people have been pretty mellow and supportive even if they are voting McCain. To be sure I've had a few wackjobs, and this guy is well, just plain pathetic, but my sense is the 'squeaky wheel syndrome' is turning this into a bigger deal that it is. Yes there have been overt and covert racist acts committed during the campaign .. I hear that many offices have been vandalized and back in the early goings of the campaign some canvassers scared off by racial slurs, but I largely think that has to do with the fact that many of the volunteers coming out had never gone door-to-door before. People generally don't want us turning you on their doorstep -- period -- the Obama campaign has stepped up their field training 10 fold and folks are doing much better lately.
I truly don't believe it's as bad as it sounds in the news.
