question for everyone that voted (regardless of whether you are happy or sad with the result)

I'm curious as to how many people on here, and in what breakdown, actually participated in the presidential campaign, aside from voting. By "participated" I mean either was a paid campaign staffer, or campaign volunteer.

I'm a firm believer in if you don't like the system, work to fix it, and that includes working to convince people to follow your lead and your candidate. So, that's what I'm getting at with this poll.

Questions are listed in alpha order.

eta- fixing a typo.

I would have helped if HRC was running

I didn't catch Obama fever until about 2 months ago

but I do think it's interesting to point out- the money he raised- he raised it from regular people- most of his donations were less then $200

I think that says it all

I don't b/c with my job, it's too difficult to campaign and follow their rules.

I didn't campaign as I was concerned about fallout from parents. I didn't want anyone to feel that I was trying to press my views upon there kids - I have a lot of conservative parents in my school.

I voted for President-elect Obama, gave money and drove down to PA to canvas by knocking on doors and talking to voters in Northeast Philly. It was a great experience and I am really happy tonight! Oh, and I cannot stop patting myself on the back !
