During the election, I was a Volunteer Team Leader in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. When I was recruited to do this, one of the things that intrigued me and got my attention most was the very deliberate focus on not only assembling a grassroots network to elect Barack Obama but to keep this network in place AFTER the election. […]

I’ve had it with Obama. All this talk about “Change We Can Believe In” and “Change This” and “Change That”. And what do we get? Steven Chu for Secretary of Energy. I mean, I know absolutely nothing about Chu at all but doesn’t he really just represent more of the same? A rehash of the Clinton administration in some way? […]

As you may know, Mrs. E spent quite a bit of time photographing Barack Obama rallies during the General Election campaign. Now that the election is over, she has put together an amazing mosaic photo with close to 2,500 different faces from the various rallies she photographed, from the Bruce Springsteen concert held on Obama’s behalf, and of many of […]

This is one of the coolest things to come out after the election that I have seen yet. Nearly 1,000 front pages from newspapers all over the world from November 5, 2008, the day after Barack Obama was elected as the 44th president of the United States of America. Very, very cool. Obama Grabs Headlines I’m just sayin’…

On May 15th, I joined the “Dexter for Obama” group on My.BarackObama.com. A couple of weeks later, I received a message from a woman named MaryAnn. It read: Hope Everyone Cann (sic) attend the Organizing Meeting on Thursday June 19 at 7 at Dexter Pub. See you there. On June 19th, my wife and I plopped our kayaks into a […]

Night of the Living Obama Supporters. I’m just sayin’…

Oh. My. God. President Barack ObamaTen hours at the Ann Arbor Obama headquarters on Friday.Twelve hours at the staging area in Saline, Michigan on Saturday.Thirteen hours at the staging area on Sunday.Sixteen hours on Monday.Thirteen hours on Election Day. In four days I knocked on nearly 1,000 doors and spoke with literally hundreds of residents in the rural area south […]

Seven more days. I woke with a sinus headache and the sniffles this morning – bound to be a cold coming on. Lost of people at the Campaign for Change headquarters pulling long shifts and looking a bit blearly. Temps dropping into the 30s this week with snow in the forecast. But we’re not letting up one bit in Michigan, […]

I don’t believe it’s a certainty (yet) but this does put a smile on my face. From Election-Projection.net: Ouch. I’m just sayin’…

This is the coolest Obama YouTube yet. He stopped by a Campaign for Change office in Missouri and spent time talking to voters on the phone. Amazing. I’m just sayin’…

It’s not easy keeping your campaign on the good side of decent. But I have been amazed by how the Campaign for Change has gone out of their way to keep their message positive. As Matt Damon said in an interview yesterday regarding his decision not to criticize the McCain/Palin ticket, “The Obama campaign has decided to focus on the […]
