10 Nights, 10 Cities, 4 States, 1 Obama Road Trip ’08!

For the past ten days my friend Soren Sorensen and I criss-crossed Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and PA working for the Obama Campaign ground game… I’m happy to say we had a clean sweep of the states we visited, though Indiana was a toughy. Here are some of the results from the interactive projections we put up in the cities we swung through. Participants were invited to text message up to the display, answering the question “I’m Voting Because…” The content was sent in from people on the street showing there support for new possibility.

Along our trip we were called faggots, socialists, communists, terrorists, and witnessed Obama stickers being torn off of cars at rest stops. We met all the negativity with polite smiles and recording equipment. BUT this is not par for the course, we were greeted with thank you’s, cheering and positive support from A LOT of wonderful people. We spent Halloween on the Ohio State University where the local campaign office created a dance party in the streets. People were excited out here, and there was electicity in the air.

More updates and a thorough recap of the trip coming soon. Some photos below:
