There is an
interesting thread of commonality occurring in the Chris Donovan campaign.
Traditionally,
in the closing weeks prior to an election, you see a hunkering down. People
prepare for all inevitabilities, although you (superstitiously) don't discuss
it.
You say "When we win..."
Never "If we win..."
and there is an understanding that the careers of those in the campaign are on hold. No resumes go out and none come in.

You wait, and breathe without noise.
The
intriguing shift in the Congressional campaign of Chris Donovan seems to be an
influx of people.
People from other states, even from across the country,
heading into Connecticut to help during these final days and prep for the
general election.

There are new
members in the Chris Donovan for Congress campaign, true believers moving to Connecticut.

the unemployed students with free time helping out at Esty Headquarters >
It turns out there are people driving their families and
possessions into Connecticut like a reverse dust bowl migration.
Nobody does
that on a whim. Nobody does that on a dream. They do that because they heard of
a promised land.
They join in a movement they believe will win and go on to win
more and win for the entire state of Connecticut.
They are joining up so they
can be on the team of a Progressive, Modern, Honest, Funny (very funny,
actually), Hard Working champion of working people and the poor.
This is not
your normal campaign. This is Your campaign.
Hop on the
Fairness Dignity and Respect Bandwagon?
Yessirree. Count me IN!
