Yes, I'm fired up about Obama.  If you feel the same way, this thread is for you. According to the Super Tuesday poll, we have more than a few supporters here. (May I say, I'm calling the State of LoT's Democratic Primary results - Obama wins with 77%. Now how does our state divvy up delegates?)
So, now it's on to other states. Louisiana, Nebraska, and Washington are up next. Sitting here twiddling my thumbs, I realized I needed to do something to help, even though the action is far from me.
Obama's site has the goods, of course. Ways you can help: - Donate. I did.
- Urge Edwards to endorse Obama.
- Make phone calls to the states that are coming up. There are ways to do this online, and there are phonebank parties IRL. In Santa Ana they're calling Washington state tonight. I have to admit that I'm not a fan of this strategy, but it's there if you want to go for that.
- Volunteer. I put my name in, and I'll keep an eye on local events - I'd like to help fundraise, if possible.
Yeah, I'm not exactly an activist, which is why I encourage Obama supporters to do just a little something. Our little something makes a difference.

From the OP. Granted, our threads tend to go off in all directions, but I was a little irritated by iSm's urging Scaeagles on, and his semi-mild condemnation of CP for her enthusiasm regarding Obama. I think the first post
does make it clear that she intended this to be a positive thread, and while you can (and do) do whatever you want; I just thought it might be nice to consider her feelings . It's not like there aren't fifty thousand other threads around here where you go and slam Obama to your heart's content.
