My reasons I will fight for Obama.

America's face on the world. Right now, our country presents a jack boot thug image on the world. I happen to like the overall views of Samantha Power, an adviser to Obama. She still believes in a promise that a United Nations can hold with a US that will pay its dues and recognize sovereignty of third world countries. She still believes we can turn this around from a Guantanamo Bay image of sadism to stopping genocide in the third world and an America that cares as much about humanity as oil company profits and campaign influence. That's the change Obama will bring. I will fight for that. I will fight for it because in the end, I think that is what will save this country if it is to be saved.

Me too!

Samantha Power, or the rest of Obama's team? As great as his ground game has been, so the rest of his instincts have been in picking some great people.

Clinton and McCain.

Enough time to save the world.

a difference could be made. I've been an activist for learning disability rights for many years. The people I worked with and myself have had victories on the county, state and national level. If we didn't take that time for that success, where would children with learning disabilities be? They would be worse off.

How sanctimonious can one DUer be in one night?

sometimes the only way things get done. Ask the people who stopped riding the buses or marched over the bridge or were sprayed with fire hoses or set upon with dogs by the police during the Civil Rights Movement. I will fight for Obama too.

Fighting works.

Had Hillary been some kind of behind-the-eight-ball underdog going into tonight, she'd be "the comeback kid." She wasn't. She isn't. She sqaundered a huge lead and eeked it out in the end. Obama surged throughout, and in the end, he didn't catch her.

But I don't think this is some kind of mandate that says "Negative Campaigning WORKS." I just don't believe that, not for a second.

Here in Cincinnati, Ohio, we rejected Hillary's negativity 61% to 38%. In my hometown of Dayton, we rejected Hillary's negativity 54% to 35%. In our state capital of Columbus, they rejected Hillary's negativity 56% to 43%.

I hope we think about all of that going forward. Let her go nuclear. The blowback is apparent in the cities, and the rest will catch up in time.

So far I've just donated money to Obama, now it's time & money.

Jim, I had such a great experience here in Ohio. We only had three weeks and you have more! Go, Go, Go!!!!

By the way, I think our local efforts paid off. Cincinnati went Obama 61 to 38, Dayton went Obama 54 to 45. Pay attention to the rural areas, the cities are Obama all the way.

Good Luck! And can I send you our leftover GOTV materials? PM Me! I'll be phonebanking Penn every day!
