The actual canvassing process proves much less inspirational.

Breaking off into groups, then just going it alone, volunteers scoured the streets of New Hampshire towns-- in this case, Manchester's neighbor Goffstown, studying maps of registered Democratic voters.

But the maps sometimes proved outdated, and even when the person answering the door matched the name on the sheet, canvassing wasn't easy.

"I don't even vote, to tell you the truth," said one Goffstown resident.

Others, dressed in pink bathrobes or plaid pajama pants, gave polite nods and then closed their doors.
