Today I am on the road, but I am not heading off to some far off distant land like I normally am. Today I am in my own home state of Arizona, Mc Cain territory. I am  embedded on the Obama for President – AZ style. I am traveling with a handful of Government officicals, Volenters and anyone who just wants to travel and spred the word of Obama. Now it struck me yesterday that I am in the state that Republican Senitor John Mc Cain lives, breaths and calls his own (territory), until now. Recent polls show that Obama is giving Mc cain a run for the money here in Arizona. You might go as far as calling Arizona a Battle ground state.   

Most of this of course has to do with the canidate himself, and the other part may have to do with the Obama bus tour. 50 cities in 5 weeks. This true sign of a grass roots movment this bus tour was the idea of senitor Leah Landrum. She said “this is what happens when you give me time off for work” Leah recently had a baby and id on maternaity leave. When I asked if this was funded by the Obama folks, she said “no, this is all my own doing.” 

Today I am hit 3 different cities in Arizona, Sirea Vista, Bisibie, and Duglas to see what life on the road is like for the Americans on this bus, dedicating their time, voice and hopes.  It is amazing how these last few days the message has primarily become about getting out and voting. Amerians are taking this election in their own hands and not leaving the outcome of this race on computer voting miecines. “Get in to vote . . . NOW one man said to me, that way they can have extra time to get it right.”  Of course with voting looking like it will be larger than it ever has been both camps are wanting folks to get in and get it done now so they wont forget. 

The next few days I will be posting my Obama bus comments, videos and stories on the road to the White House. 

I would like to end my comments by saying that having a leaders like Obama that inspire folks to want to be good is what our country needs. However, my day on the Obama love train ☺ and meeting 3 of the most energetic woman: (Leah, Melonie, and Thermanleah) I have ever meet was worth the 12 hours in the bus.  Oh, we also saw the Hilleray mobile, check it out. 

Below are the websites of the bus and Hillary car.
