We've been flogging the idea of traveling to swing states, but there are always people who can't do that. Maybe you can't travel for health reasons, for job reasons, family, the list of hindrances is endless.

Well, fret not: you can help out in swing states from the comfort of your couch. Go to the Obama website, and sign up for the final four days phone banking push.

New Yorkers have probably made millions of phone calls into swing states. we can make a few million more. And, when this is all over and we finally move this country into a new era, one with dominant Democratic majorities and a crushed right wing, don't you want to feel that you did everything possible to help make that happen?
