on campaigning

The other day a woman came to my door with a flier in-hand. I immediately thought, 'I'm so sick of the election, leave me alone!' But I answered the door anyway. And she was very polite. 'I'm from the neighborhood, and I just wanted to tell you that the primaries are on Tuesday,' and then proceeded to tell me the time, place, and how to go about voting. She was not remotely pushy, nor did she question me on who I'm planning on voting for. At the very end she handed me the flier and said, 'And while you're doing this, we'd just like to ask you to consider voting for Barack Obama.' And that was it. So polite, not at all annoying, not pushy. When she left I looked at the flier because I was so impressed with her. Now why don't more candidates realize that that's the way to go? That's how you're going to get people's attention.
