My wife got canvassed today

Doorbell rings about two hours ago.

Young guy. Turns out, just out of a prestigious Virginia school

He let on that coming to our door was a bit of a reach. My wife is THE central demographic everywhere. Outer reaches. Checking in on the core.

A pro. Getting paid good money (less than I do 😎 ) but only slightly 😐

We had a porch discussion. My wife and my campaign history. 04 08 12. etc.

I gave him a tip from knocking on 1,200 doors in 2012. Bring a Sharpie. One that contrasts to the literature you are handing out. Read the room. Bumper stickers yard flags etc. Go Hokies! Go Dukes! Go Hoos! Comment profusely on flowers or anything it looks like they spend time on.

Good kid. Must be real bright.

The post was edited. Before the edit, it was a link to an article with no paywall.
It appears the poster replied to the wrong OP.
I think the post they wanted us to ignore was their own.
They probably don't know about the "self-delete" function.
