USC -- that's the University of Spoiled Children, right?

Learned that from one of their grads who worked for me, and fit the description.

So not only did Ryan Williams follow Obama to Ohio, so did Rmoney's campaign bus! They parked it across the street from the arena and had supporters come and make campaign calls. I like the tone they've set: Rmoney and his campaign are following the President. :-bd

I think Williams took the arena picture at about 12:30, but sent it at 1:30. The wrap-around message board was down for a little bit around that time and it's down in his picture and in some of mine from around the same time. I saw him do 3 interviews in quick succession with Chuck Todd, Ed Henry and Jessica Yellin just before that. Right after the interview I watched Jessica Yellin tweet out about the top tier of the arena being half full. Then she did a live shot just before the First Lady came onto the stage in which she mentioned the top tier. She was about 6 feet from me and I gave her a big eyeroll! :lol:

What Verbie and I do in Virginia will matter, too.

Good for you! There are days, and this is one of them, that I think it's all going to come down what happens in Northen Virgina. I wish I had vote to give.

I'm in California, it won't be anything like close here. I did databasing for phone bankers the last election, & will probably do that again this year. The California phone banks essentially brought in the votes in Colorado, Nevada & New Mexico in 2008, and we probably can do it again. That frees up the locals in those states to do the door-to-door canvassing, based on high quality info identifying Obama voters. All of those states had early voting, and those states were in the bag already 2 weeks ahead of the actual election -- we databasers certainly knew it because our lists were showing that we had nobody left to call who hadn't already voted.

Thank you so much for your contribution! It makes such a huge difference if the folks in safe states can do our phonebanking for us so we can be out and about. :-bd

Aw, I'm always nice to my baby brothers. I root for UCLA unless they're playing Cal.

I know, I know. I just couldn't wait. I did make several donations to get to go to the George Clooney fundraiser. Apparently, it's not my lucky day. :((

Another video they showed Saturday. It's called "One Chance" and it's narrated by the Big Dog. People were on their feet cheering for this one. There's a couple more I'm looking for.

"Swiss Bank Account" was popular too. And the story of "Fired Up, Ready to Go" if you've never heard it.

Female: OH! I'M WITH OBAMA FOR AMERICA, TOO!

Joe is my son.
Me: *laugh* So you know what I'm doing then.
