I know some of y'all don't want to see politics on this blog. But this moves me. And it got Lisa to make 40 phone calls today; and she hates to call anybody. I think it's magic.
If you're sick of the election, if you've already voted, if you like the other guy, watch this just to see what makes it tick. (Notice how every shot of ordinary citizens is looking up at them!)
And if for some mysterious reason you weren't planning on voting, then watch it and ask yourself if you really don't want to be part of the magic.
All I can say is, this guy's got his work cut out for him. And so do we.
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
I actually had the thought today that I might one day get the chance to tell my grandchildren that I voted for Obama in the election of '08. Kind of neat to think of it in the history making context.
I'm proud of myself for the 48 doors I knocked on, and the 15 or so phone calls I made, but at the same time I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't start sooner and do more.
