OK kids I'm off to an Obama organizational meeting in Ohio!
Here we go. After mourning the man handling of Kucinich I am ready to get off the bench and get out there to help Obama take the war torn state of Ohio. I don't want to look back and think that I did not do everything in my power to get this country back on track. Thanks for listening. Peace and love, kim

11. I have read about the pressure that he is facing.
We do not live in his district but have sent money for that campaign. I think it is pretty much down to advertising dollars. The big machine is in motion. I just can't imagine that the people of Cleveland will be fooled. But then again you never know. Peace, Kim

13. Update on the meeting today.
23 people from Licking County, Ohio showed up to put the gloves on for Obama. Bobby from the campaign was very happy with the turnout. It looks like canvasing the neighborhood and calling the voters will be the order of the day. Hope we can make it happen! Peace, Kim

32. no its fun. They are going to give you names and addresses
of registered democrats and independents, and you go out two at a time. I do a lot of cold calling as a salesman so I am used to it.

If people are not for Obama they are still friendly. You are not really trying to convince anyone just identify their interest and if they would like more information you basically share your personal information and if they have a question about policy they can go to the web site. We stopped and talked to everyone we could and we found people were friendly. If we met a Hillary supporter wished them good luck and told them we would see them at the poll. You won't have any problems and you will meet some people that will be absolutely thrilled to see you.

You are doing a great thing. Have fun.

15. I have yet to talk to an Ohioan that intends to vote for BO.
Edited on Sun Feb-17-08 09:30 PM by aquarius dawning
My Democtratic friends/coworkers are planning on voting for Hillary and my Republican friends are just pissed off and don't want to vote for anybody. They know Bush sucks and McCain is just as bad but they don't want to see President Obama; however, at the same time, they aren't real thrilled about president Hillary either. For them, it's like trying to choose the lesser of three evils.

16. The plus is that I don't know one Rthug here that would
vote for Hillary. They are vicious about that. The 'polls' read for Clinton but I have no idea who they call for that. I so wish that they would call me! This state is desperate for change with unemployment soaring and an overstreatched National Guard. The one fly in the ointment is that our brand new Dem govenor seems to have his nose up Hills *ss which makes things seem a bit lopsided at this point. It may backfire as it would seem that he should be watching the business of Ohio and not selling himself as the next VP of the USA. I came home from the meeting and ordered 100 Obama buttons and 10 yard signs, seems to me to be the best way to get the job done. I intend to find homes for all. Thanks for the support. Peace, Kim

20. If you are in Ohio it adds to the excitement!
Had our Kerry signs set on fire two times in 2004. Sheriff said he couldn't help unless we had a license number so the third sign was laced with firecrackers in hopes that we would wake up in time... no lie. Unfortunately the election came before the return of the arsonist. Good luck with the signs. Peace, Kim

35. No, I don't actually. I'm usually at work and my coworkers aren't liking Obama
Some of them (the smarter ones) really like Hillary in fact.

This is Ohio you know and we are trying to get the young Obama guru to understand that we should take nothing for granted here. Peace, Kim
