1. Wow - awesome! Look for VP hints for us

[Dinger]

6. Ditto Here (nt)

[scrappydo]

7. Will do!!! I cannot believe my good fortune!!!

I have been working on Senator Obama's campaign so that is perhaps why I was invited. It will be a round table discussion with working class women. :scared:

[tblue]

2. Ooh-ooh-ooh! Tell him for us to be BOLD!

Lucky you!!!!!!!

[livetohike]

3. Congratulations!

:toast: We'll expect a full report :-).

[scrappydo]

17. Not a problem...I will take notes.

Senator Obama is also speaking at one of the high schools in Albuquerque in the afternoon...I wish I could attend that event as well but I am already taking time off from work and have to get back right after the round table. DARN!!! I do not know if we can take pictures but I will bring my digital camera and take some shots if I get the opportunity!

[dkf]

4. Wow. How'd you manage that?

[scrappydo]

10. I do not have the faintest idea why I was selected. Perhaps it is because I am a

very vocal supporter for Senator Obama. I am doing a voter registration for him as well tomorrow.

[dkf]

29. Lucky you!

[Spazito]

5. Wow! Congrats!

I just looked in the mirror and I am totally GREEN with envy!

What an honor and I have little doubt you have earned it!

Congrats again!

[scrappydo]

27. Thank you....it is a heartfelt honor! n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. How were you picked? gratz BTW

Were you always on board with Obama, are you active in the local democratic party there?
What is your background or issues you like to promote?

I'm envious, will it be live?

Gratz again!!!!

[scrappydo]

14. I have been active in presidential campaigns since JFK's...

however, I am very new to New Mexico so I am not sure why I was selected. :think:

[scrappydo]

24. i have no idea if the round table will be telecast in live mode....

however, even thinking about that makes me even more nervous! When I get in touch with Soia, I will ask her and then let everyone know.

[MercutioATC]

9. Bigtime congrats! I'd kill to have that opportunity.

Remember, you gain nothing by being politely quiet. Whatever your priorities, jump into the discussion with both feet!

[scrappydo]

12. Not to worry ...I have a big mouth! Any questions anyone would like me to ask?

[Whisp]

16. lol. CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy for you!

I'd be soooo nervous tho, but thank goodness you got a big mouth! :)

ask him about the media and unequal treatment? or word it in some other way - I knw he can't really come out and say a lot of stuff because he's already on their enemy list, but think of an angle to this one, k?

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
i'll be thinking about Albuquerke (sp?, sorry) on a Monday morning! something I have Never Done in My Life Before. lol

[scrappydo]

20. Okay....have added your question to my list! n/t

[greguganus]

18. Ask him "Boxers or briefs?" n/t

[scrappydo]

28. I believe I have the "inner fortitude" to do that!

[MercutioATC]

19. Absolutely your call, but I'd encourage him to stand by his "change" stance.

Again, it's your show...and I don't know who you like as VP...but picking an "establishment" VP because it's safe seems a waste in this campaign.

If I was in your enviable position, I'd talk to him about picking Brian Schweitzer...but that's just based on my personal priorities.

[scrappydo]

23. If I had my druthers, my choice would be...

General Clark to shore up Senator Obama's credentials in military and foreign service. However, I have complete faith in whomever Senator Obama selects. He has done a superb job in fighting off everything that has been thrown at him from the media, McCain, and the Republicans so I believe he will make the right choice.

[MercutioATC]

26. I, too, have faith in his decision.

My personal preferences aside, I'd just encourage him to continue his "change" motif.

[Spazito]

22. It sounds to me you will do great!

If it is not too presumptuous of me, I would just like to add this:

If he asks for your thoughts, remember, he really wants to know what you think, what's important to you. I suspect you will give him exactly that.

I, like others, will be much looking forward to an "after-action" report!

[thoughtcrime1984]

11. Very nice! You get to talk to the next President! nt

[scrappydo]

15. Unreal opportunity for me...

Talking to the next President of the United States - WOW! :bounce:

[gateley]

13. SO happy for you!

I know you'll do so well!


:headbang:

[fortyfeetunder]

21. Fantastic! Congratulations!!

That is a wonderful opportunity for you scrappydo! Be sure to get a picture with you and Sen. Obama!
:bounce:

[scrappydo]

25. Will do....

[AZBlue]

30. Oooooooh, I'm SO jealous!!!

Please report back after it's over.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PCIntern]

31. Wonderful for you...congratulations!

Try not to let your throat go too dry right before you speak to him! I'd need a belt myself to calm down.
