Raigmore Campaign

I had mixed feeling about starting to campaign in August, with so many activists and voters on holiday, but this weekend's experience made it worthwhile. Only a small team, but we put out 300 leaflets round the Raigmore Estate on Friday afternoon and followed it up with some door knocking on the Saturday morning.

Talking to people on their doorsteps on Saturday was encouraging. Labour voters were still Labour voters and a good few were pretty dismissive of Danny Alexander, who they think is "all talk". There was a lot of support for Gordon Brown, who many seemed to feel was getting an unjustified pillorying from the media, whilst he was just trying to do the right thing.

Maybe we are doing more right than we think?
