Other than offering my vote, they would have to pull Alison Grimes through without me.<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/09/40-painful-seconds-of-alison-lundergan-grimes-refusing-to-say-whether-she-voted-for-president-obama/" target="_blank">https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/09/40-painful-seconds-of-alison-lundergan-grimes-refusing-to-say-whether-she-voted-for-president-obama/</a>This time, however, the charge bugle call is being sounded by the landlords of my psychological retirement home.                                                                                                         This morning, I blew the dust off and unlocked my old war chest. My battle email address: one thousand, eight hundred and fifty-one unread emails from MoveOn alone.I signed the petition.</blockquote>
