This is kind of a response to kona's post (a couple pages back) about Obama chanting in rural Illinois... Wisconsin is just north of Obama's home state of IL, and usually leans Democratic, but this year WI is a battleground state. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of driving 3.5 hrs through rural northern Wisconsin and saw a LOT of McCain signs. Not one Obama sign. Where I live, in Milwaukee, I can see that most favor Obama, but definitely not a huge majority.
I know changing the mind's of the rural folk is pretty tough. But I'm wondering if there are others out there that live in battleground states, and what they're doing to influence their undecided friends/neighbors. I've been volunteering a few Saturdays for the Obama campaign by going door-to-door, and I point out all the stupidity of the GOP to my conservative friends. I'm wondering what else you guys are doing or what we could be doing besides preaching to the choir on a design forum? I'm thinking about printing up a bunch of stickers to hand out to college students. Any other ideas?
