First day on the 72 hour campaign

Well I took the metro to Reagan National. It's a pain to have luggage during rush hour. Check-in was pretty simple. I did not meet up with the people I was driving with until I got into Flint. I was hoping they were more my age but both Stan and Vicki are much older. Once we got in, we talked with the local office who could have gotten us into the Silverdome to see the President and Senator Zell Miller but it would have been a close call trying to get in. We then got a little lost trying to get a late lunch. Mia, the marshall from D.C., is about my age. It seems she wasn't getting a lot of help from the county volunteers. They seem to be more focussed on local politics. We got quite lost on our way back to the hotel, but we made it back. The conference call to organize the door-to-door campaign was a lot shorter than I expected, and it was to understand anything being said when the call was opened up for questions. I hope thing are smoother tomorrow.
