Hillary Clinton - 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. San Francisco Headquarters, 1122 Howard Street, S.F. - It's Super Bowl Sunday and we are rooting for Team Hillary. Meet with friends, grab some muchies and make calls for Hillary! We will have chips and dip and the game on our TV - but that won't stop us from reaching out to voters in the last 48 hours before the polls open! (this is from Hillary website - although yesterday I read somewhere that a Clinton spokesperson said they were not calling because the Super Bowl was a national holiday? - who knows?).
I remember when I was a teenager knocking on doors to talk about a candidate during the World Series - talking through the screen door .... (it's not the best time to gain new supporters).
Tet Festival Celebration- 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Larkin between Eddy Street and O'Farrell Street.
Barack Obama - Yield Wine Bar - 6:30 to 9 p.m. 2490 3rd Street @ 22nd - Dogpatch in Potrero Hill. A "Learn-More" event for undecided and independent voters. Enjoy some complimentary "green" wines provided by Yield and delicious appetizers provided by Hands on Gourmet. This will be an informal chance to ask questions, learn more about specific policy platform and get to know the concerns/interest of friends and neighbors. Policy-minded folks from the campaign will be available to speak to Obama's vision for education, Iraq, the economy and health care. We want to invite as many undecided voters as we can and want to make this a fun, and safe space to talk about the issues and the vision of Senator Obama.
