1. Hey - how'd that lady rate a kiss? I want a kiss too!

Great pictures! :applause:

[roguevalley]

24. he's completely awesome. I can't help thinking, because of my

age, that once upon a time, not that long ago, he would have been lynched on the spot for hugging and kissing those gals. GO, OBAMA! And god bless America for really changing.

[Schulzz]

2. More great pics. Thank you! nt

[Tribetime]

3. Excellent pics thank you

[gateley]

4. Wow. I hope he actually got to knock on a door of McCain supporters and

TALK to them.

I always am reminded of a story about Biden, on the way to a speaking engagement (when he was running for Prez) and saw some anti-Biden protesters on the road en route. He had the car stop, got out and talked to these people, answered their questions, and they ended up supporting him.

I think the same would happen with Obama - those who would get an opportunity to have him answer their questions might be converted. :7

[bigdarryl]

5. looks like he's taking Tweety's advice

Mathews said two weeks ago that Obama needs to get out and talk to people in rural places or visit an unemployment line and connect more with struggling people so he sounds like he is in touch. Looks like there taking his advice. I bet a lot of those people in that neighborhood are McCain folks.

[msallied]

6. Yeah... Obama is such an elitist, isn't he? LOL

Look at him totally milling around with those rich folk. ;)

I love this guy. He is so damn cool!!

[Left Is Write]

7. Another kick for great pics.

[Max_powers94]

8. is there any video of this????

[occe]

9. ..........

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[firedupdem]

10. Great Pics!!! He actually knocked on some doors! I would die

if he knocked on my door!! You let that Angela Zimmann know that I am so jealous of her cheek right now!!

[Phx_Dem]

11. Just incredible! I would wet my pants if he knocked on my door.

[carpe diem]

12. not to judge a book by its cover...

but these folks totally look like they'd be McCain supporters...I hope he changed some votes his way.

[1corona4u]

13. I only really thought one was....the lady in pink...

[catgirl]

16. My thoughts too

It's always a bit uncomfortable canvassing neighborhoods, and this one looked tough. I give
Obama a lot of credit for doing this.

[brentspeak]

26. They "look like...McCain supporters"

Uh, how so?

[monmouth]

14. Nice neighborhood too, love it..n/t

[tilsammans]

15. Cool, or what?

Taking it right to the people!

:yourock:, BARACK!

[ej510]

17. He should do this everyday until nov. 4th.

[Duke Newcombe]

32. Damned straight!

You wouldn't imagine the multiplier effect of even a quarter of those folks getting "converted" who weren't for him. That could flip a state.

18. Our President talks the talk and walks the walk!!! Loving these photos! nt

[Essene]

19. He's lookin pretty darn unstoppable :-)

[Thrill]

20. is that a conserative or liberal part of OH?

[stillcool]

21. Great pics! Lucky neighborhood..

Kimberly Heretick must have been thrilled with her canvassing partner.

[Condem]

22. Thank you, Hope!

Beautiful!!!

[progressoid]

23. Wow - too cool.

[galaxy21]

25. How skinny is he now?

Eat, Barack, eat!

[ProSense]

27. Magnificent. n/t

[Patiod]

28. Does this guy ever sweat?

Seriously - he is the coolest guy I've ever seen. Anyone else would be at least a little rumpled.

[RBInMaine]

29. Who is Angela Zimmerman? Sorry, but watch the RePUKES use RACISM because he kissed a "white girl."

[glowing]

34. She's lucky, that's what she is..

[Undercurrent]

30. Beeeutiful!

I don't remember other presidential candidates in the trenches doing canvasing before. Maybe my mind is going, but I don't recall any.

[gmoney]

31. Looks like Obama can't even get yard signs...

...great shots though.

[glowing]

33. Angela Zimmann is one LUCKY woman.. I'm officially jealous..

[President Decider]

35. Folks, this is the essance of what politicians should be doing. Talking to real people ....on foot!

Could you imagine McCain doing this?
