Volunteering for a candidate

[Taualumna]

Has anyone ever volunteered for a political candidate's campaign? Have you ever had weird canvassing stories to tell? I was canvassing for a candidate this afternoon in a so-called "swing" area. I was yelled at by someone at one house....actually almost biting is more like it. The man looked like he was practically going to grab me and shake me for "bothering him" with information from the party. Later on, I saw a woman actually yelling at the candidate, telling her how awful the party she is running for is. I've done this before, and I don't think I've ever encountered people this harsh in person. I have had a few nasty people on the phone though.
