Send The Field to Florida

Through paypal. Wish it coulda been more...but it's what I can right now. I'm delighted you are going to Florida. I have a very dear friend who moved to Florida a couple of years ago. She and her husband are a professional Black couple who moved to northern Florida to retire. I knew this election was going to be something very, very special, when she wrote that she was not only phonebanking, but canvassing... in some very scary places. When I was nervous about going to Nevada to canvass, I kept telling myself if she can do this in Florida ... I can go to Nevada!

I have contributed $100 thru PayPal for your FL coverage...thanks for all that you do in keeping things "authentic"

Ojala que vivia en la Florida...invitaria a ti y todos los Fieldhands a tomar un cafe cubano conmigo! Estoy celosa, que suena superdivertido!  I am really getting excited about this thing!  I will definitely kick in $10 in next couple of days (for me that's a lot!).

Buena suerte and thanks for doing this, Al!

Applause for Al--protecting democracy, One Field Report at a time!

Perfect location for election day reporting.  I think Florida will offer an early indication of the latin-vote effect on this election.  I feel confident that, thanks to the active latin community here in Colorado, our state will be a solid Blue come Nov 4th.

I chipped in $25 for the journey.  Al, I've enjoyed this blog througout the primary and election season and commend you on your foresight througout this year and looking forward to your organization efforts in the future.

I am giving the bulk of what I'm saving with not having Internet or Cable since Ike to Rick Noriega, but am sending $25 your way.  I always enjoy your reporting and I think Florida is a great place to hear about near Election Day.

I am in. While I cannot do as much as many of you are doing (THANK YOU!), I do offer encouragement and gratitude. It is so rewarding to feel part of the movement toward change, as I sit at my computer. I do pass it on to my network of friends to keep them informed and in the loop.

Yesterday it was time for a hair cut. My beautician, who has been a Dem, is not happy with the choice this year. She used Wright, Ayers, and meeting with a Muslim group in DC as her reason. I just looked at her. She said, "I know too much Fox." I said "yes." Then I could mention health care, social security, and tax cuts. Maybe, just maybe, she will wheel to the right choice when she votes in ET.

Any how, Al, I agree a Spanish speaking reporter in FL is really needed.

I donated $15 last night, will that go toward this? I might be able to donate again by Monday. I think Florida is the perfect place to go, I was just listening to NPR this morning and they were talking about voter suppression. We need a watchful eye there.

Also, this might be a dumb question but I requested an account after I donated and it didn't do anything except send me a confirmation e-mail. Is there something else I need to do? If anyone can tell me that'd be awesome.

Vamanos. 

Can't wait for the election night coverage!

From everything I've heard, it doesn't sound like Gov. Crist is really interested in doing McCain all that many favors now, especially considering his unwillingness to toe the party line on ACORN. Of course, it's still a great idea to go down to Florida to see whose ground game is better (and considering that a Florida call for Obama will end any chance McCain has of winning, that is certainly a strong reason to go there).

Al, Were in for 100.00. We have been working on our local congressional race, district 2 in northern ca. Last Friday our local activist group organized a candidate's night with free spaghetti dinner in our small town of Round Mountain. We got about 45 people. Jeff Morris D is running against the 20 year republican incumbent. We see a remarkable atmosphere for change in the district which has been consistently conservative for years. Although we are also working with the Obama campaign, that effort may be to big a hill to climb in our district.

The field and our association with the field hands has been a fabulous opportunity to reach beyond our local constraints. We are looking forward to post election organizing.

This is our moment, participatory democracy a movement from the ground up. 

Thanks Palo

The breakdown could be a bit off:

McCain AA 22%.  Obama should do better in the AA vote.

Party breakdown:

GOP 44%

Dem 40%

Ind 16%

Perhaps Dem should be higher.

JOY! JOY!  JOY!!!!!

Invite him to attend?????

Suzy - I mean, he's welcome just like anybody else, but if I were his advisor I wouldn't recommend it. That would look too much like "measuring the drapes."

However, I will invite some of those fine young advance team people, who may still be in town that night after striking the set.

And Field Hands are already organizing to pepper the big event with flyers for our talk.

I've been meaning to drop you some $ for quite awhile, this is a good time - Florida will be exciting, hope it's in a good way. I've really enjoyed reading everything you write since last spring - you'all have kept me sane not silly, so thanks! I can't wait to read your reports. We're still working hard in Ohio, so I've not written us off, by the way.

Count me in for $25 via PayPal in an hour or so, Al.  I'll be in Vegas for the final four days of GOTV push (along with over 10,000 or so other Californians heading to various parts of Nevada), but I will be sneaking lots of looks at my iPhone during that time to check out your reports.  How great would it be for FL to avenge/atone for 2000.  Come to think of it, I want Ohio too...

Aloha,

Russell

 Well Al, I don't know which one it is but... I would say, who cares, milk it for all it's worth. This is truly wonderful.

I am going to be broke before this friggin thing is over. Between Obama, Senate, Congress races and donating to my most favorite Journalist/Teacher, a very slow housing market, crap......I guess I will have to stay in the country next year and work full time. Damn you Al & Barack! :) Donating another hundy.

...and that is some coincidence with the rally.

But we'd better hurry and organize: according to a brochure I received in the mail today, Revelation's prophecy is happening now, so there's no time to lose! The brochure talks about the "mark of the beast" and there are pictures of demons and winged, three-headed cheetahs (cheetahs???), grizzly bears with ribs instead of fish in their mouths, and guys in wife beaters and backwards baseball caps screaming into the sky. On the back is a picture of two kids with the caption, "Bring the Whole Family!" Scary stuff!

I know everyone is beyond tapped out after this year and a half of donations, but man it's changed the game.  We CAN compete, we can be heard, we can send our people throughout the capitols and state houses and even White Houses of this country.  After we all recover, if we can keep some fraction of this cash flow going (we've all learned that we're able to carve out a bit for what we believe in) we could keep the pressure on and truly "Crush, Baby, Crush".

 Do I get a prize for guessing Florida first?

Btw, whatever happened to Field Hand of the Month?

Christi - I was thinking about that while on the road at the turn of the month, and was about to award it to Kris Johnson, for organizing the great participatory spread sheet that helped get the AP's Ron Fournier sent to Siberia (and, wow, we've heard very little from him since then!), but, alas, Kris is not signed up as an official Field Hand. If y'all can make that happen I can award it retroactively!

I'm so glad you will be in Florida.  I have nightmares about that state and the 2000 election.  I know you will keep us well informed and sane. Just sent you $25.00 via paypal; thanks for your energy and stability.

Elliott- I lived in FL in 2000, and I don't think Crist is going to be willing to have the state look like a laughing stock again just to help out John McCain.

At least I thought I was signed up... hmm *investigates*

http://fieldhands.ning.com/profile/Kris

There's my profile - I should have added my last name to it. Corrected now. Sorry for any confusion, all, and thanks for the award, Al.

The City's Street Use Staff Team is meeting as I type to issue a Street Use Permit. If it was the Capitol, it'd be the State.

The Capitol's fallen out of favor for these things ever since I won a court ruling that "outside" signs can't be banned from events on the Capitol grounds.

Democrat for US Senate (Wisconsin 2012)

in your old haunts of New Hampshire. And it should be very interesting here but Florida looks like a better choice for reporting.

My 85 year old life-long R mother in law will be working GOTV there after having just worked on the campaign a month here in New Hampshire.

Some of us sure are getting excited, I can't remember when folks got up from the middle of dinner to answer the door and seeing I was delivering yard signs for Obama said no problem, and their guests came out to be sure they got one too.

Al, ok, you're right again - don't you get bored being right ?  No 'measuring the drapes'  - not until we Fumigate the Place for him! Maybe some of our southwestern Field hands can make some smudge sticks too!

Regarding the publicity for 10/23 - I've been sending the PDF of the flyer to friends - and just wanted to remind any Field hand who knows the local tv, radio, newspaper people in Madison could let them know about the event (Al's event!) too.  Don't think there will be any question of a huge turnout for 'the other guy.' This is SO exciting!

With people like embarracuda and b(augh)mann and h(augh)nity spewing their venom non-stop, USA today resembles more and more like 30's Germany. Hope the Floridans realize that irony when they pull the levers on Nov 4th.

Does FL have early voting ? Now, I am worried about Obama camp worrying about ground game, donations and, worst of all, complacency.

Does anyone know what the strategy is to get those first-time-voting-kids to move their collective asses on Nov 4th ?

amk

I chipped in 10 bucks Al.

GodSpeed

Love your reasoning process for choosing FL. 

OT: I just watched Nancy Pelosi on Charlie Rose...WOW.  She is *so* effing smart and articulate and nuanced, oh and well-informed.  How refreshing.

The whole Michelle Bachman interview on Hardball tonite is just astounding.  First of all, Chris just kept goading her with deadpan questions to get her deeper and deeper in to McCarthy territory.  She was loving it.  What is even more impressive is the outpouring of support her oppenent has rec'd in just the last few hours.  His website crashed at one point...not sure if it's back up but I went to the Act Blue site and it's up to almost $40k on ActBlue alone!!  People are pissed.

Although it's great Tweety exposed her for what she is, I struggle with his not having pushed back on McCain's assosiations.  How do they explain away Gordon Liddy and Charles Keating?  Stephanie (is it Cutter?) from the Obama camp was on afterwards.  Chris kept saying how scary this was and Stephanie kept bringing it back to how scary it was that McCain was so wrong on all the issues.  I can only imagine how hard these people get the message drilled in to them.  It is so natural for us to fight back on their terms and clearly the Obama camp insists that we cannot change politics as normal without setting the right example.  All very Ghandi like...not sure I could follow through with it.  I'm pretty sure I would succomb to my base instincts. : ))

Will kick some in to the kitty for the trip, Al.  I just pray we don't need you there to expose any tricks or recounts, a la 2000.

Regarding the SUSA poll today from FL where someone posted the R/D/I split...does anyone know what the current breakdown is in the state?

AMK - the campaign has vast swaths of data of all their supporters including phone numbers and addresses.  From now til election day is Get Out the Vote.  Spent 5 hours calling and mostly leaving messages for folks.  There is phone calling and canvassing every single day.  Here in WA we focus on folks with mail in ballots first.  Once a ballot has been rec'd by the county, the clerk updates the records and the campaign can see that so those people come off the list.  Eventually, we start hitting folks who vote in person.  Apparently, there's only about 20% of my county that actually goes to the polls.  This obviously varies greatly from state to state and even between counties.

A few more bucks in the coffers for you, Al! Depending on the day, maybe I'll drive down from SC and see Florida with you - buy you a drink! Good luck, safe travels and thanks for the continued excellent reporting.

I think Maine is going to turn out fine. Susan Collins did not appear with Palin the other day and today she denounced the robocalls. Her actions are clear indications, or as you'd put it, "tells" on the state of the presidential race in Maine.

If anyone can send some funds to another worthy cause, consider contributing to Michelle Bachmann's opponent. He would be far superior to this antidemocratic travesty and is evidently fairly close behind.  Here's a link for contributions -- http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/18660

I hope you come down to Florida.
I recommend you check out Duval county (Jacksonville). This county went for Bush 17 and 16 points in 2000 and 2004. But the Obama campaign is taking this county seriously.

you also said that only 20% of your county goes actually to the polls. Do you mind telling me why ? Or is it that most would mail in their votes ?

amk

Please go here and vote in the poll for Prop 8

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/17/1817/5879/730/633888

Winning this poll will send tens of thousands of dollars to the No on Prop8 campaign

Forward to anyone you think would be willing to vote

My $15 check is in the envelope and will be in the mail tomorrow morning.  I wish it could be more, but just an hour ago - and before I read about these exciting plans - I sent in another donation to Obama.  I look forward to the reports from Florida.  Thanks and safe trip!

 I need to say this--- I S0000 LOVE Joe Biden! 

He is the opposite of BO in style because he is allowed to be (you know the bullshit, he's white, it's ok to be angry). He is on fire and on message tonight in Henderson (LV) NV! Go Nevada for Barack! It's all about GOTV now! Early voting starts tomorrow, ends the 31st. If you are reading this and live in NV, Go Vote!

 Done! We need phonebankers & canvassers in to defeat prop 8 in CA. If you know anyone interested please email me christidemuthatyahoodotcom.

There are only two counties left in WA that still have in person voting.  And within the two remaining counties, about 80% vote absentee ballots.  I am apparently one of the minority who actually still goes to the polls.  I've always liked voting in person but this time around, I really wish I could cast that ballot right now.  I was jealous when my husband got his yesterday.

BTW, Tinkelberg's ActBlue page is now up over $63k.  It's hysterical...and wonderful.  Matthews was just like a lawyer leading her down the path where he wanted to take her and she just willingly kept going further and further.  Only an idiot wouldn't have been able to see it for what it was.  Quite the entertainment for a Friday night.

 I was flabbergasted at that dumb broad, yep, I said it. Like Chris Rock (his new HBO special is hilarious). How ignorant-anti-American-bigoted-partisan-etc-etc, can you be?!?!

 My mom and I both donated to her challenger tonight. I think she just lost :-)) and now I am really broke ;|

 The Salt Lake Tribune has endorsed Barack Obama for President.

The reddest state in the nation, Mormon country. My mom has  friends there who are all about McLame, I am sending them this endorsement right now.

Tomorrow we will be receiving our ballots in the mail so the voting has begun. In Oregon all elections are mail-in only. So the voting takes place over a rolling two week period. Today I had visits from two canvassers, one from SEIU canvassing for Obama and Merkley, and another from Forward Oregon, a progressive advocacy group canvassing for Kurt Schraeder D Congress, and Jeff Merkley, candidate for Senate running against Gordon Smith.

Two polls today from Research 2000,

Obama 53, McCain 38

Merkley 47, Smith 41

Things are looking good here for Obama and for Merkley to unseat the Republican Gordon Smith. (I should add that Gordon Smith is trying to run as a moderate who likes Barack Obama. He even has Obama in some of his ads, like they are best pals or something.)  I should add that SUSA had a poll earlier in the week with Obama at +17, and Rasmussen with Obama at +13. Obama is headed for a double digit victory here as the polling has been stable double digits over the past month.

Salt Lake City???  And that was quite the endorsement as well.

Christi - I haven't given to Tinkelberg's campaign yet...but I was just getting ready to send my money in to Al so the credit card is right next to the computer...very dangerous.  I sent money in to the DSCC this week as well.  I couldn't figure out which of the umpteen Senate races needed the money most so I just sent it to the committee.

Just added $100 to the Florida kitty.  I haven't joined field hands as I don't feel confident regarding my time and direct service skills but I am grateful that I can periodically participate financially.

Good luck in FL, Al. Looking forward to reading your on-the-ground reporting.

Watching the video of Michelle Bachman on Hardball was one of the most frightening experiences, terrifying.  I applaud Chris Matthews for his performance, allowing Bachman to show herself in all her horror.  How does a person like this get elected?

Cutter was magnificent, appropriately speechless and dismayed.  I hope this video is viral by now, along with the hate filled robo call.

amk - I think we're going to see a much higher proportion of the people of voting age voting this year.

For those Field hands who have not yet seen the Hardball performance of Michelle Bachman, imagine the worst - except for the honorable response of Katrina V. of The Nation. There is a Diary by Tinkelberg up at DKos. The POWER of Community:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/18/2550/3286?detail=f

In our huge 100% Obama gadget lovin', text-sending family, we abbreviate "grand" as "G'" as in G'ma and G'pa...(collectively known as "the G's"...

G'ma (my 84-yo mom) and I have been working 1 day/week with seniors in Senior-citizen homes around these parts.  Wherever Mom goes, she puts on her regular clothes, then puts her "O" shirt over her outfit and her "O" cap on her head. Every day.  In the last three weeks, we've helped 102, 143, and 113 seniors respectively turn in their absentee ballots. We are very careful to be "non-partisan" when we visit the homes, and we are really careful not to mark the ballots for people, etc. It's just *coincidence* that all of the seniors we visit are voting for Obama (we guess, we don't look at the ballots!).

It is really gratifying to see really old people who have waited for this day all of their l-o-n-g lives vote for That One.

My 35 yo daughter, who had to leave her job med school in Phoenix to come home for medical treatment herself, has been working GOTV for three O offices in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Detroit. That's after she organized for O while she was in AZ. She takes her 17 yo brother (her father's son, not mine) with her (he is po'd that he can't vote this election) to talk to 18 - 40 yos they meet in malls and in neighborhoods. She is still on Cloud Nine after meeting Al personally in Ann Arbor a couple of weeks ago.

Health care is one of her issues...we are spending $1500/month on her treatments and $2000/month for G'pa (my 88 yo Dad) because insurance and Medicare don't completely cover what they need.

I'm taking a picture of my Mom and Dad marking their own absentee ballots this weekend; Mom has total power of attorney for Dad, and although he can barely speak now, he smiles and waves his hand when O is on TV.

What are McGGLiddy, Gov. Failin, M B(yeech)mann, or Bill Ayers for that matter gonna do about our medical bills?

Hope, not hate!

waterprise2 AKA Pam

Liberal with a Capital L!

Al, I agree that I like SurveyUSA's transparency, and so I looked at the breakdown, and it shows Obama getting only about 75 percent of the black vote. I think that right there is reason enough to doubt its accuracy. McCain with 22 black support? Really? Can't see that happening.

It also showed, I believe, McCain with a slight lead among Hispanics, which would go against what we've seen in almost every other poll everywhere else, but considering the Florida Hispanics are largely Cuban and conservative and traditional Republicans, might not be off the mark.

Michelle Bachman on Hardball:

I'm gob smacked. 

[Manly]BondiBeachViews

ActBlue has it at $104,670 and it's still growing at a clip. He's written a thank you at dkos.

Thanks to Michael for comment above re: Number 12 at 9:35. I checked Viral Videos at 8:30 am EDT - and it wasn't even on the list! Don't want to 'highjack' Al's thread - but hope we are all encouraged by this display of the Power of Community.

http://www.censurebachmann.com/

Also, haven't seen much from RF at AP lately! Can't wait to hear the LIVE feed of Al's 10/23 event.

Ground zero of the 2000 election mess has a chance to redeem itself.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable tightening of the polls, by the way. Firstly because it will remind all volunteers that this race is not yet won and compel them to redouble their efforts, and secondly because of the entertainment value of these:

Senator Collins (R -ME) has spoken out against the robo calls the RNC & McCain are making. Interesting too - the firm doing them is the same firm that made the sleaze robo calls against McCain previous primary campaign. McCain has lost any honor he once had.

Hope my fellow Field hands will send thanks to Senator Collins for her decency.

http://www.politickerme.com/jessicaalaimo/3042/state-democrats-ask-colli...

The Chicago Tribune also endorsed Barack Obama, the first Democrat endorsement in the history of the paper.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-chicago-tribune-endorseme...

I'm sure many are not surprised, being the Chicago paper and all, but I was pretty astonished.

Now you know why I was a bit freaked out a few weeks ago about Minnesota and the tight polls.  The "he's an Arab" older woman (Gayle) at the McCain rally and Michelle Bachman both reside in the formerly progressive state of Minnesota.  Democrats are still the majority but the haters sect of the Republican party are doing everything to incite fear and loathing over the airwaves, in the papers and with massive billboards like you would imagine in Texas.

The Hispanic population of Minnesota is increasing rapidly and recent immigrants of the Hmong, Vietnamese, Samalis and emigrants from the former Soviet Union have all been used to stoke the fears of foreigners and the liberals who "invited these peopel to take our jobs".  The "they are not like us" brainwashing by the Republicans was largely successful over the past two decades. Those are just two of the many brainwashed. Hopefully xenophobia is curable in the great state of Minnesota and it will once again return to being a leader in the progressive movement in the U.S.

Good Morning All,

Al, I donated $25. for your newest quest - it's the best I can do.  As always looking forward to your insights.

Ok, I have a question.  Everyone is saying it's inevitable the polls will tighten but I haven't read why this happened in the past and why it'll probably happen now.  Is it buyer's remorse?  Is it undecideds deciding?  A combination of both?  This may be a silly question and I consider myself a relatively high information person but I'm not connecting the dots on this issue. 

@Pam aka waterprise2,

Everytime I read your comments I just smile.  I remember when you first started commenting on the other site and it seemed like you wrote one or two sentences max.  And then all of a sudden you just burst forth with all your wonderful 'stuff'.  Maybe my perceptions are off but your comments constantly lift my spirits.  Your stories motivated me to get my 81 year-old Hillary loving mom and 75 year old aunt into taking action.  I'm around alot of seniors (volunteer at a nursing home and a church with very high senior population) and recruited a few of them to make calls for O-man.  Just want to thank you for sharing.

I'm making calls at the Democratic HQ in Bergen county, but gotta admit I'm a little jealous because I'm in a relatively safe state so don't feel like my efforts are as useful as those of you in a battleground state.  That said, I'll continue to make calls and plan to take off the Monday and Tuesday before the election and volunteer full-time.  Of course I'm also taking off Wednesday to celebrate! 

$30 just sent.

Art that has to be in a gallery to be art isn't art.

Suzy, your suggestion that Fieldhands thank Senator Collins for her statement against the robo calls is excellent, and in keeping with Barack's unfailing dignity and his call for change. Knowing that prominent Republicans pay a price when they make these kinds of statements, how powerful would be it be to receive thank you's from the "opposition"? Civility as demonstrated by our own leadership... Here's the link: Contact Susan Collins

Al,

A small contribution-$15- to the Florida journey. I got on a roll this morning and made small contributions to the campaigns of Musgrove, Noreiga, Martin, Lunsford, and of course Tinklenberg. Being so surrounded by right wing and religious right "stuff," I guess I had to take a shotgun approach with my credit card today.

Looking forward to your posts.

Hi Al,

I made a small contribution to this worthy caus just now.! Best wishes on your big event in Madison but please don't embarrass Barack with a rock star size crowd! 

Hope to be able to have a drink or two with you and other Field Hands sometime around the Big Day.

"So a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the n***er!"

Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."

So many emotions wrapped up in this.  I think even more than the N word was the fact that this woman can't decide for herself who she's going to vote for.

Tinklenberg's biggest problem today has got to be trying to figure out how to spend all that money they didn't plan on having.  Good problem to have.

@Spirit of Will Rogers - isn't it amazing how many Senate races have come out of nowhere??  I couldn't decide which ones were most viable so just sent my money in to the DSCC.

Cute story from phonebanking yesterday.  A mom who homeschools brought in her 12 year old son for social studies class.  I can't say he did the best job reading the script but those messages were probably pretty well received...how touching.

I read the 538 post too.  I immediately thought of Archie and Edith Bunker.  Their matter of fact use of the n word and the wife's willingness to have her husband think for her really gives evidence that they're living in the mid 20th century.

I think my initial emotional reaction was that I was both appalled and saddened at the wife.  Then I thought "whatever".  Get the votes and deal with the other Nov 5th. I will keep my eyes on the prize. 

I FULLY EXPECTED to hear stories of people using racial epithets, hangings in effigy, etc., and would be in a total state of shock if these behaviors hadn't surfaced.  Today, I can't even be angry because to me the bigger story is that most Americans are not supporting these behaviors and people of all colors are speaking up and taking positive actions to combat this ignorance. 

Yes We Can

 This diary shows just how hard the battle in FL will be.

Just announced on msnbc!!!  This would be largest domestic rally.

YES. WE. CAN.

Thanks you two for making the suggestion and then making it so easy to contact Senator Collins. The thought had flitted through my mind but I wouldn't have bothered sending an email if Kathleen hadn't made it so easy. My husband laughed at my message but I'll share it anyway (I think it was the Senate/change comment :)).:

I just wanted to thank Senator Collins for rejecting the robocalls the McCain/Palin campaign has been making. I was a reporter in Maine years ago and had the opportunity to meet Senator Collins when she was preparing for her sucessful Senate run. She struck me as professional, helpful and intelligent. I'm glad to hear and see that being in the Senate has not changed those qualities.

Americans want to hear about what our politicians will do to solve our nation's problems and how we can all work together to better our nation and citizens. We don't want to hear smears.

Thanks for standing up and doing the right thing Senator.

My graph of how much money we have left to raise for the Florida reporting differs from the graph on this post (showing 2800+/3500 raised) to the one in the right-hand border (2200+/3500). Is this just my computer not refreshing something or is everybody seeing this inconsistency?

Thanks!

EDIT: It's looking fine now, so it must have just been me. Sorry.
