One of ten supporters selected to go backstage with Barack tonight, Marsha Shearer is a retired elementary school principal. She has phonebanked and canvassed for Obama in Florida, and has been a supporter since even before Barack made the decision to run. Marsha believes that both the Iraq War and America's dependence on oil are negatively affecting the health of our economy. She supports Barack because he is not a typical politician.
"He represents something above and beyond," she says. "I haven't felt so energized since McCarthy, trying to end the Vietnam War."
She has brought her college-age granddaughter to the convention.
