Election Day - McCain Headquarters

We spent Election Day in Virginia, visiting polling places and talking to women who spent the day making sure the election ran smoothly.   Just before the polls closed, we headed to the candidates' offices in Loudoun County.  At the McCain headquarters, we met Melinda Lewis, Field Director for the McCain-Palin campaign.  Recently out of college, Melinda's clear enthusiasm for her work energized the office.  She had become a McCain supporter after watching the YouTube debates during the Republican primary.   "I was really passionate about McCain, his stance against torture, the way he stood up for what he believed in," she said.   As we left, the callers shifted their focus from Virginia to Colorado, where polls would still be open for another couple of hours.
