The Kerry campaign finally called me last night with the details of my day. They want me at the airport at 2 PM. I’ll be going from the airport to the rally at N.C. State.
Then around 7 PM, I get taken back to the airport and my car.
That’s a lot of time away from the family and the lakehouse. The thought of all that time made me wonder how in the world campaigning politicians do this every day for over a year. I thought the Tour De France was a grueling contest, but a national presidential campaign must have it beat.
The thing that really interests me is getting a close-up view of a campaign. I’ve considered running for office before and often thought about what it must be like. I’m wondering if today’s experience will change my mind about politics.
I’m hoping I can manage to blog today in-between events. Probably the best I’ll manage is to take my voice recorder with me and audioblog, posting the results when I can get online again. I’ve already ruled out a video camera, but I hope to take the digital still camera with me to take some snapshots.
Should be interesting.
from the hoe-down today.
