Kudos to US!

After one whole day off from politics - we had an exec meeting last night and most all were there.  [We seem to like each other :-)]

WE congratulated ourselves on turning Multnomah County solid BLUE. Not one little corner is any longer represented by a republican.

But the biggest kudos of the evening went to KC Hanson and Susan Silodor - the chair and vice-chair of the Multnomah county Democrats.

They were elected in January [a very long 10 months ago] and what they have done is to not only re-organize the county party - but to deal with a primary followed immediately by the general election.

And they did it - because they are great leaders who inspired many to get involved in party politics for the first time or to get re-involved after years away...


Like Obama - they walked and talked hope and future and never wavered - even when they had the flu :-).


                 KC and Susan - YOU ROCK!

Did we ever have fun last night!


YES!   WE!    DID!










This is a few seconds after 8PM PST when we at the Oregon Convention Center knew that the closing of our polls out just put Obama over the 270 electoral votes!

It was a madhouse - but such a joyous joyful mad house.

Got Obama's message this morning:

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.


We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack 

My Chicago family was at Grant Park for this historic moment in history!

[and I still get weepy about the enormity of what we just accomplished]

Halloween at Obama Headquarters


4 days to go and the place is hopping!

People of all shapes, sizes, ages and colors are here to get out the vote, drop off a ballot, sell swag, make phone calls or just dropping in because it's such a neat place to hang out!
