During election time, I work over 21 hours. My day starts around 6 A.M., and I address meetings through the day. Between 10 P.M. and 2 A.M., I meet local leaders, where we discuss local issues and local problems.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Poll workers put in very long hours on election day.
Call-time has renewed my faith in the need for public financing of elections. 'Call-time' is where I as the candidate, sit in a room with my 'call-time manager,' and a phone. Then I call people and ask them for money. For hours. Apparently, I'm really good at it.
My day starts at 8 in the morning. I have meetings through the day into the evening and very often dinners and benefits at night. This is nonstop.
I usually get up between 5:30 and 6. The good news in Bentonville, Arkansas, is I can be in the office seven minutes later. I like to get in, work on e-mails and catch up.
I've been in a lot of elections.
You have to knock doors, make calls, and build a relationship with voters long before Election Day.
I seldom think of politics more than eighteen hours a day.
I get to work at about 7:30 or 8 unless I have a breakfast meeting.
I wake about 1 a.m. I'm in the office by 2 a.m. We're on the air at 5.
I don't have a tolerance for long meetings. I generally expect to get things over with quickly.
