Melinda On The Ground In NV

Melinda is hard at work going door to door in Las Vegas, along with ground troops from ACT and MoveOn. They are sort of carpet bombing houses asking if people have voted and if not, offering to take them to the polls and if they say they will vote later, they go back to the house to make sure they do.

Melinda said she's had extensive conversations with four people she felt could be turned to Kerry, and she pushed the issue of the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump 1 hour north of Las Vegas that Bush supports and Kerry opposes. There was one guy who said he may not even vote and Melinda urged him to reconsider and told him where his polling place was. She said it looks like he'll make it over there to vote for Kerry.

Way to go, Melinda! Latest exit polling has Kerry up by 1% there.
