Well, I am signed up to canvass tomorrow from 2-5 pm in the
bowels of Chatham County. One of the side benefits of political grunt work is
that you get to see parts of your town or county that you would otherwise not
likely visit. When I ran for the town
School Committee in Northampton, MA in 1977, I got to know the town by walking
the wards with my then young son Patrick in an unsuccessful campaign [my first
and only run of office.] The town is
heavily Catholic and I thought a son named Patrick might con the voters into
thinking I was also, but they were too shrewd for that bit of political subterfuge.
