We're really hoping to get a large group of people from the community. We want everyone to be involved.

We get the flags a week (before the event).

We as a party are going to run a campaign and I'm going to do what I can to elect them.

It tells us that individuals in the party believe this is a winnable seat, not just in 2008, but right now. It's good for the party in terms of registering voters, raising money and it will also help provide additional interest in our congressional race.

It will be something we'll continue to put time, money and effort into.

The response was just amazing. So many people from the community stepped up to help, the numbers are just tremendous. The whole community came out and really gave everything they had.
