5. A phone bank is...

... a list of people that someon calls and asks them questions, informs them of an event or contacts people who have volunteered for activities.

It's a huge part of campaigning.

Doing it in between blogging breaks, in fact. SC Democrats are very friendly and open to Obama's message. Email me if you want to do it, too.

6. It means that's how many sheets were passed out...

The stadium hold 86,000 people. I haven't seen the stadium crowd.

They are only showing one angle and have not panned out to the entire stadium.
