I just convinced someone to vote for Obama - too bad we're in New York, but still

It's a great feeling.

This person is surrounded by right wingers in her life, but she cares deeply about the environment. It was sending her Robert Redford's endorsement that someone posted earlier that did the trick.

A man in Pa. and a woman in Tx. They were both leaning Obama and now are STRONGLY Obama. Pa. definitely will help. Texas? Not much.

It didn't take too much convincing with the WOMAN though. See how social media can spread the word????
