GOTVing

I am at the Marshall CountyDemocratic Headquarters here in Marshalltown. We are packed with with over 20 people and all of the local candidates. We are scouring the lists and running out of calls to make, so people are enjoying the food that has been brought in. The turnout is a little above average county wide. The turnout is really high in some of the rural precints, which should help Democrat Tim Hoy, who is running for Iowa House District44 against incumbant Polly Granzow. I just found out that Selden Spencer stopped in earlier in the day to thank everyone for the hard work. Things are looking optimistic here.

**Update #1**
All calls have been made. Food is running out. Johnny Cash playing on the CD player. People are just waiting for the polls to close. People are heading out to check the local results at the Courthouse or heading to victory party held by a local Democrat. I thought about heading to Ames to the party with the Spencer campaign, but have decided to stay home for the night.

**Update #2**
Democratic Headquarters has cleared out, with just a couple people sticking around, so I ran down the block and walked by the Republican Headquarters. It was a different picture there. They had about 20 people there and a TV that was tuned into Faux News.
