KerryVision

Actually, it was more of a blowout, but I think 'decisive' is a bit more gracious. After months of campaigning by the Senator and a lot of hard work from his supporters, Senator Kerry won his primary bid against Ed O'Reilly in a walk, as the Boston Globe reports.

Although we knew it wouldn't be close, some of the Senator's supporters hit the phones yesterday for some last-minute calls. If you're not a phone banker, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's a lot of fun, especially on election day when the objective is to get folks out to the polls. Most of what I heard was "I already voted for John", or "I'm going out to vote for John now." Funny how Mass folks call their Senators 'John' and 'Teddy', you never hear 'Bob' and 'Arlen' in PA.

I really do recommend giving phone banking a try. It's really a great way to get to know what folks are thinking, and a people are generally appreciative of the work volunteers do. Sure, you get a few who aren't, but I've found that that to be the exception. There's lots to do for Obama, and I'm sure there will be plenty more chances to call for JK before the November general election. Give it a try, it's a lot of fun.

It was worth the effort to see the Senator crush O'Reilly, and the Senator and a crowd of his supporters and staff had a blast celebrating the win at McGanns. There's really nothing like good food and plenty of Guiness and a great bunch of Dems in a pub in Boston. Throw in a stunning victory for your favorite candidate, and you've got yourself a real party.

We have some video of the Senator's speech, and more photos to share tomorrow, but here are a few for now.
