The context of the following conversation is Bailey wanted to vie for student council so he had to have the right number of people to vote them.:
Bailey says I'm walking around the school today trying to enlist students to vote for me for the student council..
The friend responds Do you think you have a chance? The people you're running against are pretty popular..
Bailey responds I think of it as a grass roots campaign. I've got a lot of buzz around campus and I'm doing more legwork than my competitors..
The friend responds Either way, I'll be sure to vote for you!.
