I can barely move

Put in an 18-hour day yesterday -- at the polls all day, signing in our voters, calling those who hadn't turned out, coordinating canvassers for addresses we never reached. Great experience, excellent feeling of being part of a community, unbelievable turnout in Philadelphia (around 70% at all the urban wards).
