Canvassing for Obama

On Sunday, a picture-perfect New England day, Richard, Pat, Judy and I went to work for the Obama campaign up in Southern New Hampshire. We were sent off to neighborhoods in the Plaistow area to visit the homes of undecided voters to promote Barack Obama, and two other Democrats: Senatorial candidate Jeanne Shaheen for Senate and Congressman Paul Hodes. I'll remember three things about the day:
Outrageously beautiful foliage against a bright blue sky,
Really long driveways,
Friendly, staunchly independent voters

Much to my relief, we were received well by most of the folks we visited, the majority of whom expressed support for Sentator Obama and the other Democrats on the ballot. Thanks to Pat for suggesting and encouraging our participation, and to Judy for lending us the cool wheels (we borrowed her Prius!). Here's a picture of Richard enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch across the street from the Obama headquarters.
