Just back from Center City Philadelphia, where our little table on the corner of 15th and Sansom was a happenin' spot and where the buttons and signs were getting snatched up as soon as we put them out. We had supporters of every age, every race, every everything stopping by and sharing the love. We even had a very "hope"ful dog and a moose-that's right, a moose--campaigning for Obama (see picture). Granted, no one voting the other way would likely step up and be heard under those circumstances but I couldn't even find many people who weren't wearing some kind of Obama gear. I think the campaign has pretty much taken care of Philly--let's see if it's enough to carry the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Polls there close at 8.
Check out these 2 volunteers from Amsterdam who came all the way from their homeland to campaign for Obama here in the US. They can't vote but they can hold signs and smile real big for the cameras. You have to love the Dutch.
What message would an Obama victory send to the rest of the world? What has been your experience in other countries during this election season?
Thanks for the comments from everyone both off and on the blog. And thank you all for helping me to stay occupied today. This is almost as emotional as childbirth.
I have had three cups of coffee (thanks Starbucks) and some chocolate. I would love to eat but think I might throw up if I do. I still cannot believe that someone with the name Barack Obama may actually become President of this fine country. If you have not voted, GO!
