Calling Kentucky
Tuesday, May 20, 2008

While working up my courage to make a few phone calls for Obama today, I was debating whether or not I would wimp out and choose to call Oregon or grit my teeth and call Kentucky. For better or worse, the Obama website made the choice for me. Kentucky, it was. Unsure of what I was in for, I was happy to find that, instead of trying to convince any old Kentuckian to vote Obama, I was calling only to remind current Obama supporters to get to the polls. So, if you have some time on your lunch hour or whenever, give Kentucky a call. It's easy! And honestly, talking to fellow Obama supporters in a state I've never been to this morning was a bit energizing in that it helped remind me that there's diversity of opinion everywhere. It's just a matter of percentages.

And if you need more inspiration:

Oh yeah. And for all those people who keep claiming that Obama has completely abandoned Kentucky:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Barack Obama complimented Democratic primary rival Hillary Clinton Monday night and called for unity against Republican presidential candidate John McCain in the fall election.

Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, took his bid for the White House to a packed Kentucky International Convention Center on Monday night.

"She has served this country well, and whatever differences between myself and her, they pale in comparison to the differences we've got with George W. Bush," Obama told a crowd of about 8,000. "They're nothing compared to differences we have with John McCain."
