I wrote a little earlier about SEIU's popular media organizing program, reaching out to progressives within the performing arts -- actors, musicians, writers, etc. -- to harness the great talent available to help forward a progressive agenda. Part of this effort includes the Guess Who's Knocking initiative through which SEIU brings these artists out to knock on doors and meet with actual voters on a one-on-one basis. As I explained on Sunday, "The program is a great way to get organizers even more motivated to knock on doors, and it also is a great way to spread a message quickly in a non-traditional way (voters might call some of their friends to let them know Daly or someone else came by their door to ask for their vote)."
On Sunday, Josh and I had the chance to sit down and speak with actor Tim Daly of "Wings" and "Private Practice" fame, who came out to Nevada to canvas door-to-door. I have cut down the conversation from about 35 minutes to about five minutes, and you can listen to it below.
Josh and I are up in Las Vegas through election day blogging about the campaign, and our coverage has graciously been sponsored by SEIU.
