I've been volunteering for the Obama campaign, mostly rolling calls on phone banks to undeclared voters here in California letting them know that they can vote in the Democratic primary here next Tuesday.
Today I was at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood before the Obama/Clinton debate and as far as visibility, we had more of a presence than the Clinton campaign. Here are some shots. (Further down is Wolf Blitzer and L.A. Mayor Antonia Villaraigosa... and then those costume characters were there adding a surreal atmosphere to the whole shebang):
Isn't this the most exciting presidential campaign in our lifetime?
It's amazing!
I found that history may be repeating itself, only stronger. A little known fact here is that Victoria Woodhull, a famous suffragette, had received the nomination of the Equal Rights Party in 1872. Her running partner was none other than Frederick Douglass, the former slave and famous abolitionist. (White woman, black man)
I wonder if this will be the case this year, in reverse? Time will tell.
My prediction about Huckabee is off by a long shot, which makes this process more of a thrill for me, to be sure. The status quo is rocking my friend!

Hey hrc, No need to feel sorry. We did WAY better than we originally thought we might and picked up more delegates than we anticipated. (Out of 370, we got 163.) Thanks tho!

I checked the results on CNN's site just now, and it seems to me like Obama won the primaries for the democrats! Congrats, if I'm reading things correctly!
