Hangin' With Sean Bielat

Sorry for long gap here. I'm at a studio in Revere, MA where Ladd Ehlinger, Jr. is shooting an ad for Bielat.

I can't really give you good quotes because it really was just saying hello. But he's a nice guy, and was familiar with the campaign motto "When he's not killing people he's building robots." (The killing "people" was the original before readers suggested changing it.)

I don't know if I can say this but I can't imagine it will hurt that much: I hear tell that unpublicized polls (conducted by outside groups and the NDCC (the Democrats) put the race at 3-5 points -- or closer.

You know who's here? The New York Times, doing a story on internet advertising. One print reporter, one photographer, one videographer.

I have vid of Ladd shooting this but I have to clear it with him to run on the site because he's very embargo-y about not giving away the ad.

Speaking of Bielat, more details of tomorrow's GOTV effort are up now at bethewave2010.com. Basically, it's what I already announced: Phonebanking at Bielat's Newton HQ from 1 to 6. The unknown thing is where we're having lunch at 12; I have to ask a local where a good cheap place would be nearby.

Here's the address:

Newton Office 381 Elliot Street Newton, MA 02464

Again, not sure where lunch will be, still have to figure that out. Somewhere nearby.

Figure we'll go to 6 and then grab drinks someplace close.

Oh: Bielat will be holding a rally in Foxboro on Saturday from 2 to 4. That's not a problem, I don't think, because anyone attending probably will already be highly motivated to vote for him. We'll be calling the people who aren't so highly motivated, and bossing them around to vote.

And Oh! A lot more events all over the country have been added at Be the Wave. Bieltat's not the only one running.

A lot of upsets a-brewin' -- make it happen.
