Okay, maybe not ALL of them, but LOTS!!!

Now, I know he knows what he's doing, and his team is made up of political geniuses, but for my $0.02, I think he should spend his time re-igniting the enthusiasm among the younger voters in the nation. Ditch the taboo of the HUGE rallies and embrace them wholeheartedly again.

Particularly states/cities with early voting. Get everyone there, get them excited again, and get them directly to the polls.

Now's the time to get the feeling that we had right after the Iowa, the end of the primaries and the convention going again.

I'm so damned excited to be excited about Obama!

1. I wish he would come to Oklahoma, but I don't expect it.

2. Hey, how is Oklahoma so conservative if the Flaming Lips are from there and so popular
I recently watched UFO's at the Zoo, and was floored by the enthusiasm for the band in Oklahoma city. I was at the Hollywood Bowl when they played there last year, and they recorded that show for DVD release. I thought it was the most energetic and exciting concert I've ever been to, but apparently true fans knew it was a dud as far as Lips shows go, and weren't impressed by the audience participation.

I still think the show was incredible, though I have to admit the energy at the Oaklahoma city show was at least 10 times more intense.

Sorry... tangent.

3. If there was enough time......
But then I always think to myself that if DUers were managing Barack's campaign, he may not have been running after Iowa. LOL!

5. Amen to that one!
I can't tell you how many times I've thought, "I'm glad Obama and his team are smarter than me!"

I trust him more than I trust myself!

It's so freaking nice to have a candidate like Obama! :)

6. Nashville
I wish Nashville was in a swing state so he could come here. At Vanderbilt, we are excited about the election. we had a cocktail fund raiser Tuesday that had over 200 and we raised over 7,000 dollars. Rep Jim Cooper was there and so was the head of the Obama Campaign in Nashville. If students at my school are excited I think that Barack visiting places such as IU in my home state of Indiana will make them even more motivated to vote.
