My pictures from Selma!

[BamaLefty]

I had an amazing time in Selma on Sunday. I got a chance to go to the Unity Breakfast with Barack Obama and then went to a hands-on campaign workshop that he attended. I was one of about 60 people there so that was pretty cool. Also, participating in the bridge crossing march is something that I would highly recommend all of us experiencing. Seeing men and women in wheelchairs on the bridge - the same bridge that they crossed 40 years ago and were beaten because of it - is very powerful. All in all, it was a great day and I just wanted to share some pics from the event!

I could have reached out and touched Hillary. I was that close.

8. very nice pics!

The one of you two turned out well. And I also I love the one of the crowd -- with the Clintons just visible in with all the other marchers.

Sometimes we KNOW that the world has changed for the better. Thank goodness for that!

11. That was very obvious

Although it may not be evident from the select pictures I've shared, there many whites from all economic levels in attendence, as well. Alabama has changed for the better.

And, I kid you not. . . Don't be shocked to see us "shed our red" in 2008. Things are really looking up down here.

14. my pen pal in Gadsden will be glad to see the state turn blue!

She's had to wait for awhile, but she's never given up hope.

16. Hey Bama, do you know Joe Turnham?

Remember the strange things that happened when he lost the congressional election (3d district) to a repuke lapdog named Mike Rogers?

[BamaLefty]

17. I don't know him personally

However, I did meet him in Selma. He seems like a very down-to-earth and likeable guy.

I do remember their tricks. Although, it's hard to remember specifics considering that they screw with something or somebody in nearly every election. Was his home burned, by chance?

[Elwood P Dowd]

18. I can't remember the specifics myself.

Just some strange voting results from areas Joe should have won. Joe is a nice guy and comes from a great family.

19. True

I remember that. Of course, the Republican dominated Montgomery media quickly swept it under the rug.

Was it in 2004 when Rogers' opponent's house mysteriously burned down? Yet again, that story got little (if any) attention.

20. It was 2002.

A long, sad night.

9. You and your friend are a cute couple.

Thanks for the pics.

21. As for my friend in the picture,

she certainly is a very beautiful girl, a great person, and a fantastic Democrat. However, I'm not dating her. Maybe I'm not as smart as you originally thought I was, huh? ;-)

15. Kahuna, you're hilarious

If you were a college girl at the University of Alabama coupled with your excellent political views, you'd have someone at your doorstep. :P
