Election Addendum.

Like the day after the election, I got this text from a(n older) (white) (female) volunteer I had exchanged numbers with, since we had been talking earlier and she said she'd give me a ride back to the commuter rail station if I couldn't find anyone else -


Can u believe it?  What a disappointment.  Thought wud b closer.  Got the senate back at least.  Betsy.

What a great mass text...

Interestingly, I was texting an organizer who I had RSVPed to, and she said that volunteering is "sort of " down, but she thinks it's just burnout from the yearlong stretch of organizing for the recall.

I really do think that enthusiasm will come back.  People up there know that it's not just one battle, it's a war.
