our lil political girl

so last weekend we went up to new hampshire for the weekend to do some campaign work for the obama campaign......since massachusetts is a definite democratic state, no sense in doing work for his campaign here......we had a great time......steve and casey went door-to-door on saturday while i did some office work, and i went with them door-to-door on sunday.......stayed at a nice hotel on hampton beach and watched the red sox lose game 2 in extra innings in the wee hours of the morning......
met a lot of mccain fans on sunday when i went out with steve and casey.......lots of older people who pretty openly admitted their uncomfortableness with voting for a black man.......one man told us he's on the fence because he's not sure if obama will "be for us or them" meaning for whites or blacks......very sad to see that racism still exists that openly in today's "progressive" world.......hopefully it'll be no big deal if a black man runs for office when casey's older......
only 17 more days till election day......keeping our fingers crossed!!.......
