Today Linda and I canvassed the area of Lehighton between 3rd and 6th between Coal and Ochre. We took a lunch break at Diggity Dog on 1st Street and finished our turf about 1:30. In all that time, and we had over 50 doors, we ran into only one really nasty person. It was a woman who was the only Democrat in the household.
Linda asked her, “Are you really planning to vote for Corbett?” She replied emphatically, “I’ll never vote for another Democrat,” and slammed the door.
In years of canvassing, here’s one lesson I’ve learned. The only voters who have slammed a door in my face have been Republicans. I have no idea what made that woman so angry, but she needs a hug.
