Enough

The problem with campaigning is the same problem as with housework -- there's always more to do. You just have to pick a point at which you feel like you can live with the results and not drive yourself into the ground. Yesterday I did two rounds of canvassing plus a church supper. Today I went to a party and have been fooling around with trying to get a tent together for July 4th's political tent city at Tom Brown Park. Could I be doing more? Sure. But I also had to go to church and do the grocery shopping and get the laundry done and none of those things will wait until after the campaign is over. Obviously the measure of "enough" is that which will make a good showing at the polls. The problem is that it's not possible to tell what "enough" is in advance.
