supporting...

Moran) [only if asked: Republican opponents are Keith Fimian //// Frank Wolf //// Mark
Elmore]

By the way, are you usually a Democrat, an Independent, or a Republican? And


how likely do you think you are to vote? (Definitely / Probably / 50-50 / Not Voting)

* IF MCCAIN SUPPORTER: Well, thanks so much for your courtesy speaking with me
today. Have a great day.

* IF STRONG OBAMA SUPPORTER:

Great! This campaign has always been about supporters like us giving some time each
week to bring about change by volunteering. Would you be willing to volunteer for a
few hours to make that happen? (Yes / No / Maybe)

And will you need an absentee ballot? Would you like us to send you a ballot request
form? (If yes, please fill out the voter request form on the table, and send a note to the
voter thanking them for your conversation).

Thanks for your time. Have a great day, and I hope we’ll see you soon!

* IF UNDECIDED OR LEANING TOWARDS MCCAIN OR GILMORE


I’m personally supporting Barack Obama and Mark Warner because I no longer believe
that Washington is working for me. The cost of health care has gone up, the price of gas
has gone up, and it is harder and harder to make ends meet. Instead of coming together to
work on these critical problems, Washington continues to bicker and play the same old
games. We need new leaders to bring the country together to find common sense
solutions to the issues. I believe that Barack Obama and Mark Warner can get people to
work together. Do you think that you’ll support them?
Do you think after what you’ve heard that you’ll support Barack Obama? I hope that you
will!

Thanks so much for your time, have a great day.
