Ain't Backing Down From Backing Barack!

Thanks to those volunteers and BHO supporters who reached out to me in the past 36 hours since my twilight zone experience at the Valley HQ.

Senator Obama is still my man. I'm just gonna forget all about the gung ho foolios and hope and pray that they find a little balance and that the coordinators succeed in urging them to chill out.

'Cause when Obama wins on February 5 and I want to show up at the HQ and be welcomed (and not pressed to phone bank). Because voting for Obama is the most important work any right-minded American citizen can do right now.

Like Curtis Mayfield said, "Keep On Pushing!"

But I am still waiting for my Obama Swag to arrive. Anyone else encountering slow mail service?

Be prepared for lots of zeal, some of it misdirected. The culture may have changed since Tuesday, I hope so. But there were some very aggressive volunteers working the door putting the pressure on my (undecided) wife and myself to work the phone banks when we had already politely declined. It was awkward and embarrassing. If you read my previous blog you'll get a sense of how surreal it was. Anyway, don't let that discourage you from going or supporting Obama. Just remember that there are some knuckleheads in every family.

Peace,
Norman
