Students from Alabama coming to Tallahassee to help knock doors for Hillary

We had several groups from Alabama canvassing over the weekend. They got up at 3AM to make the drive and stay the weekend. We also have several people come from Boston to help out.
People are starting to complain about too many people knocking on their doors. The field organizers here have worked their asses off and it has paid off.
Tim Kaine and Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly had a rally at FSU on Friday and it was very well attended; I got to meet Senator Kaine and have a picture taken with him--such a nice person.

Met Senator Kaine today along with Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly

We had our picture taken with him today at a rally in Tallahassee. Gabby Giffords and her husband were also there. It was a great rally with an emphasis on gun violence. Gabby Giffords still has trouble speaking but said that two words she looks forward to saying are "Madame President."
Kaine seems like a really nice down to earth guy. I asked him where his harmonica was and he said that he had 6 harmonicas in his car.
