All those doors, all those phone calls, it was all about today

[wellstone dem]

All those doors, the African-American woman who said "She's here about Obama!!!", the elderly white woman who at first said that she had heard Obama would only be for the blacks, but when I asked her what she thought, she told me about her African-American son-in-law and her bi-racial grandson, the elderly woman who told me the last time she voted republican was when she voted for Eisenhower--and her husband who said, "You never told me you voted for Eisenhower." The woman on the phone who said, "I've been waiting for someone to call, I wanted a call so much so that I could say, 'yes, I'm voting for Obama." And the woman on election night who, once the election was called, came up to me and said, "I don't know you, but I have to hug someone." It was all about today, and tomorrow, and tomorrow.

1. Yes! I went door knocking in Kentucky in the primary, the state when heavily for Clinton

and it was all worth it because I knocked on the door of an apartment and a middle-aged African American couple just beamed at seeing my middle-aged white overweight self who drove down from Indiana to support Obama. It was a great moment of connection. So was the house with the elderly Asian man and the young white college female and the Muslim teenager who were all delighted to see real in-the-flesh evidence that they were not alone.
