Election How the McGinn Volunteer Who Was "Nervous as Fuck" on Election Day Feels Now

Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 11:16 AM

Text message received last night from Craig Benjamin:

I'm no longer nervous as fuck.

Benjamin has been involved in the campaign longer than his daughter has been alive. Where did he celebrate the latest returns? He texted back: "At home with my family."

thank you.

I hope all McGinn volunteers do a victory dance in front of City Hall on Monday when final results are announced.

Or, maybe a march, on the AWV?

Hey Stranger,
It would be cool if you did a piece on who these McGinn volunteers were ( and how McGinn and his advisors developed the campaign they did). Who was organizing? Who came up with the plan? Why were they so positive?

That's what they said about the Obama campaign. Amazing how Cultist appears to be synonymous with Winner these days.

Yeah, because a razor-thin mayoral election is right up there with celebrity gossip.

Good to know they're no longer nervous. At least I was right about it going to be close.
