SOCIAL: Lovin' the politics!

[Manish Champsee]

FWIW, phone banking is my preferred activity in a political campaign.  You
can have a bunch of talking points printed out in front of you for various
questions that you couldn't really do face-to-face.  You are also in a room
with a number of other phone-bankers who you can count on for moral
support.  Making phone calls is pretty quick as compared to going
door-to-door and can switch instantly to different parts of the
city/state/country.
