We have an important Congressional race in the District this year. Will you be supporting... (11th District = Gerry Connolly //// 10th District = Judy Feder //// 8th District = Jim Moran) [only if asked: Republican opponents are Keith Fimian //// Frank Wolf //// Mark Elmore] By the way, are you usually a Democrat, an Independent, or a Republican? And how likely do you think you are to vote? (Definitely / Probably / 50-50 / Not Voting) * IF MCCAIN SUPPORTER: Well, thanks so much for your courtesy speaking with me today. Have a great day. * IF STRONG OBAMA SUPPORTER: Great! This campaign has always been about supporters like us giving some time each week to bring about change by volunteering. Would you be willing to volunteer for a few hours to make that happen? (Yes / No / Maybe) And will you need an absentee ballot? Would you like us to send you a ballot request form? (If yes, please fill out the voter request form on the table, and send a note to the voter thanking them for your conversation). Thanks for your time. Have a great day, and I hope we’ll see you soon! * IF UNDECIDED OR LEANING TOWARDS MCCAIN OR GILMORE I’m personally supporting Barack Obama and Mark Warner because I no longer believe that Washington is working for me. The cost of health care has gone up, the price of gas has gone up, and it is harder and harder to make ends meet. Instead of coming together to work on these critical problems, Washington continues to bicker and play the same old games. We need new leaders to bring the country together to find common sense solutions to the issues. I believe that Barack Obama and Mark Warner can get people to work together. Do you think that you’ll support them?

Do you think after what you’ve heard that you’ll support Barack Obama? I hope that you will! Thanks so much for your time, have a great day.
