Back in August, I went canvassing with Nat Felsenfelds, an organizer for the Warren Campaign.

We're in the Northridge area, like less than half mile that way. It's just like fields.

It's a beautiful late summer evening in suburban Iowa. Nat's knocking on doors, but no one is home.

It's hit or miss with at this time. You're going to get a ton of people home or...

What happens next though is important. It's not super dramatic, but it's important.

That's boo boo. What is it? You shot. That was the penalty.

Matt spots an older guy out walking his dog. He's literally the only potential voter we've seen since we got there.

What are you out doing tonight?

Actually, I'm Senator Warren's organizer here in this part of the day. Are you playing on a boxing experience?

What party?

I'm a Democratic Party. I could do that. Awesome. I'll be here.

Do you know who you're going to be talking to before you get this year? Or you're using candidates in mind?

No, I really don't.

Totally up in the air. I heard you check out Senator Warren.

Well, the Lizbeth Warren has been a good candidate as far as I can see in all the debates and so on and so forth.

I don't know if you've been going to grab a cup of coffee or something, sometimes this week. You sure could.

Love it. What's your schedule looking like?

Well, that's the... I'm retired, so nothing.

You know that? I love it. I love it.

You want to just come by or do you want to meet somewhere where you can do a cafe to eat with?

You can just come by and it sounds good.

In just a couple minutes, Matt had turned small talk about a dog into a pitch for a Lizbeth Warren.
