GOP fervor for Romney reaches grassroots

The San Francisco Chronicle reports on the GOP grassroots:
While Democrats, too, are amassing crowds of volunteers to hit Nevada's key counties in the final days before the election, a poll released last week by the Public Policy Institute of California found that a greater proportion of likely Republican voters are excited about their candidate than Democrats are about President Obama.
There's more:
They are voters like Tea Party organizer Sally Zelikovsky, who hosted a fundraiser at her home in San Rafael for onetime Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann - but who joined hundreds of Californian Republicans from Los Angeles, Orange County, Sacramento and the Bay Area who drove to Reno and Las Vegas for the weekend to vacuum up every last vote for their candidate. "This is how we in California can best have an impact on this election," said Zelikovsky, a founder of the Bay Area Patriots, a Tea Party group. "Nevada is in play," she said, "and that's where our energy needs to go."
Just a reminder.
