Let us revisit the quaint clapboard house that serves as our local Willard Mitt Romney headquarters.
This photo dates from a week ago, but it could have been taken today. On the Saturday before Election Day, we saw no cars in the parking lot, with no supporters, volunteers or canvassers trooping in and out.
We cats were only a little surprised. See, when we passed by this very same location last evening, it was locked up, dark and deserted.
Nevertheless, we keep expecting to turn around during our door knocking, phone banking and poll watching and find some Romneybots breathing down our necks. For example, at today's absentee-in-person voting at the Manassas Registrar's office — the busiest day in Virginia's early-voting schedule — we represented the local Democratic Party as observers, and half a dozen Obama volunteers patrolled the parking lot, handing out sample ballots. Surely, we thought, the GOP would show up to do the same. But none did — even though the headquarters pictured above is a mere two blocks away.
More proof that the Republicans think they can win simply by carpet-bombing the airwaves and spamming people with direct mail and robocalls. And just another reason that we'd rather be Us than Them.
