You guys both have experiences that put mine to shame! I haven't had the freetime to do volunteer work for the campaign, so I've been trying to make up for it with money. I bet that's a very fulfilling experience. Wow. You guys both have experiences that put mine to shame!

Mitch, Daniel, and I waited in line at Del Sol High School, which is probably comparable in size to Salem. The line wrapped through the parking lot six or seven times and spilled out onto the sidewalk next to the street. When we were about twenty people from the front of the line, the organizers came out and said that the auditorium, the classrooms where the speech was being broadcast on cctv, and the football stadium where only the sound was being played were ALL FILLED TO CAPACITY! We hung out for a few minutes anyways and decided to check out the front door to the auditorium. I'll never forget it. Obama came outside before his speech just to talk to those of us who couldn't be there for the speech. We were so impressed that he cared to talk to us. It was absolutely amazing. I'm very glad you had the opportunity to be a part of one of the events. I spent two hours with Daniel today volunteering at the Democratic Party Headquarters. If you haven't done anything for Obama's campaign in person, I strongly recommend spending some time and effort. I'm amazed at how good I feel to be a part of the process, especially in a swing state, and how much good I feel I'm doing. We went to see Obama talk when he was still a Democratic candidate.

It was pretty awesome. Even had a funk cover band playing before hand. Did I tell you I got to talk to Obama when he came to talk at UNC?
