"Voter contact" work? We're not all political operatives. The fact that phrase exists at all bothers me.
I do one better. I live among a load of Republicans. One of my better friends from college was a genuine Clinton-hater in his mid-50s. I used to have a neighbor who the IRS refused to serve a warrant because they were afraid of what might happen if they tried.
I've spent tireless hours trying to explain to most of my friends and neighors exactly why and how America needs to get thing right.
And, frankly, I've had a lot of them spend years trying to explain to me why the Democrats are a bunch of sissies who can't talk straight.
It's actually a nice political environment to live in, ecause folks are very open to discussion.
