Time spent working for a candidate

By my count - 175ish hours, so I'll be grumpy tomorrow if Romney loses.

I would love to spend massive amounts of time volunteering for a candidate... if my state had any relevance. Angry

Yeah, Texas used to be on Super Tuesday. But then they moved Super Tuesday up a month.

But I applaud you Inks, for working so hard for a candidate you believe in. That's really cool.

I just realized - that doesn't even account for all the Hagel stuff I did back in like January-March. I love that man - he should've run.

None, though I'll man a precinct if they let thirteen-year-olds do it.

It's hard to estimate exactly since my time is spread out all the way back to last March. I'm guessing it's a little under 100 hours.

I guess I am running the caucuses for my city and I intend to use any underhanded methods necessary to deliver it for Edwards. Tongue

That's the closest I'll come.

I just sent money myself. It is probably somewhat age specific perhaps.

The three minutes it took me to find my credit card and punch in the numbers to give Huckabee money in November. Though it's not like there is any real campaign organization that I could work for in Pennsylvania.

i did one event for rudy over the summer when he was leading here, but then he decided south carolina wasn't relevant and moved on to florida.

None, yet. Depending on who the candidates are, I may be spending time volunteering later on.

Yeah. I'll have time to spend over the summer doing work for somebody. If someone I care about immerges in PA-10, I'll work for them. If not, it will depend on who the Republican is. I'll work for McCain, maybe Rudy, probably not Huckabee, and I'll work for Obama against Romney.

I'd work for Bloomberg. His (potential) candidacy seems to be the only one that is driven by an intense focus on policy solutions. While I disagree with his trans-fat/smoking bans, I believe his views on global warming, poverty, health care, transportation, and trade will add to the debate of ideas.
