More campaign news

Becky and I have been really busy with the Obama campaign. Since most of the town is rather aged, I've been the data/computers guy. So I've been in the Democratic party/Obama campaign database, entering and sorting data, pulling lists for people to canvass or call (yup, I determine whether people get those annoying phone calls), and wrestling with our local dem office's printers.

Since we've been giving time to the campaign, we got VIP tickets to the Pueblo rally today. Bummer is that since we were busy in the morning, we got there not quite early enough and the Secret service shut down the VIP entrance early. So we were in general populace. Oh, the ignominy! Nah, it was nice. But it would have been nice to be in the grandstand behind the great man. When he got rolling, I tell you it was unreal. Lumps in the throat, fire in the belly, tears in the eyes... amazing.

Holy crap, McCain and trophy are on SNL!

Anyway, I'll post pics, vids and/or audio tomorrow. I have to enter in the second half of the stack of canvass data that I'm sitting on. holy crap, I'm going to be up late.
