Just perfect. California Democratic Party put on a Obama watch party at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at Embarcdero .
I was smart enough to get there right on time to get a seat right up front of a huge, huge tv screen (major sound) - so when Obama spoke it was like being right there. When the people in the room clapped and yelled - the sound was amazing.
Everyone should be thanked for their hard work putting this party on. (I saw Alex Bash, Rick Hauptman and Hene Kelly working ).
I sat next to my buddy Cllifford Waldeck and Joni Eisen and her husband at the Potrero Hill table. Joni is the President of the Potrero Hill Democratic Club and very active in Clean Money. Joni was celebrating her birthday - drinking Cosmos!
There were cookies, glow in the dark jewelry, rubber duckies and clapper noise makers (well it is our New Year!)
Obama was just spectacular - just right - not over the top - and he looked and sounded so strong - especially when he looked directly into the camera - like John Wayne!
The Democratic Party is very serious about helping get out the vote in Nevada (I believe Obama is behind in the polls in Nevada ). People personally came around to each table saying you could call from you home to Nevada voters .
You can also train to be a Deputy Field Organizer.
1. You attend a two-day Camp Obama training.
2 . Make at least two weekend trips to Nevada between September 12 and October 26, leaving on a Friday (to arrive no later than 9 a.m. Saturday) and returning on Sunday.
3.Travel to Nevada for the GOTV period, arriving October 31st and staying through Election Day November.
Camp Obama in San Francisco is September 20th through 21st.
