Okay, I’m not really “on the trail,” but I thought that sounded cool as a header…I work at a local campaign office in Lansdale, PA, which is one of about 8 offices that the Obama campaign has in Montgomery County. The office used to be a car dealership, I think, or a warehouse maybe, but for us it’s a huge space where lots of cool stuff goes on.
Okay, not always. Anyone else might have thought my first day was pretty boring, in fact, but me with my West Wing fantasy was pretty stoked anyway. Tuesday was my first day, and it was kind of slow. I learned how to use the super voter database and did some data entry, made the “Issues Wall,” talked to some people who stopped in, and then made a few phone calls to voters. I went home for lunch (my mom is an angel who is contantly grocery shopping and packed the fridge with all our favorite things- mmmm ham sandwhiches!) and then finished up about 6pm. Debate night!! My friend Melissa lives in Philly and took the train out to the ‘burbs for the debate, so I picked her up from the train station, and she, Steve and I went out for Philly cheesesteaks before we settled in at my house to watch the debate. Of course, jet lag kicked in pretty much exactly as the two candidates shook hands, and I promptly fell into a dead sleep sitting on the couch, for the entire debate.
