Army of Dog

Senator Obama, or Barry as I call him when we talk, sent me another email this morning asking me to travel to North Carolina and campaign for him.  It’s asking a lot, but he was pretty cool about it.

Brett —

I’ve just landed in North Carolina, and I wanted to let you know about where we stand in this battleground state.

All across North Carolina, I’ve spoken to veterans, students, and factory workers about the challenges small-town America is facing — and about how we’re going to start solving them.

I see the excitement on the ground, and I truly believe North Carolina is ready to stand up for a different kind of politics. But only if people like you get involved and take ownership of this effort.

In the coming days, supporters across the country will be coming to North Carolina to knock on doors, make phone calls, and Get Out The Vote for Primary Day on May 6th — and they need your help.

I know this is a big decision. But what’s brought our campaign where we are today is that so many people — including many who never thought they’d get involved in politics in their lifetime — have taken that leap to help us succeed.

We need to finish strong in the Tar Heel State, so I hope you’ll sign up to take the trip this weekend.

I’m trying to imagine what will be descending on the good people of North Carolina in the coming days.  The influx of Trans-gender Unionized Healthcare Workers for Obama alone will make Sherman’s March seem like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade by comparison.
