A slice of life in the Barack Obama campaign.

They wanted lots of the 'rainbow' Obama stickers.
'Yeah, the Rainbow ones are the Gay and Lesbian for Obama stickers, everyone knows that'.
Ah not me, I just jumped on a plane a week before and turned up at the Miami South Beach suited and booted armed with a CV!
I've been giving Rainbow badges out to anyone and everyone.
This Barack Obama campaign has to be seen to be believed.
It is, like, you know, totally awesome, man.
Our office has every black, white, mixed race, latino, young, old, clever, stupid, funny, serious, laid back and intense people giving their time up for free. For Obama.
I know in my heart he will let me down, he will dissapoint me, he is, a politician.
This campaign is not about him. It is about US. The volunteers.
People like Kale Williams, aged 27, who has been working for free for six weeks and will have to drive across America to get home.
People like Dustin Hoffman lookalike Will, who is Jelvis, the Jewish Elvis, The King of Kosher, who dresses in his Star of David jumpsuit and walks around Miami beach singing 'Ba-rock the vote Baby, shake, rattle and shalom baby.
It is Karim, the London living Belgian who jumped on a plane from London and spends all day entering data on a computer and got thrown out of his hostel for supporting Barack Obama.
It is about the black lady who remembers segregation in her native Kentucky and has worked on every election since and never thought she would have the chance to vote for an african american candidate.
It is about the 40 Danish students who turned up to help.
It is about Elle, the mother who got suspended from her job for Obama, and then every day stood outside the polling station holding an Obama sign getting honk after honk as well as been called Babykiller.
It is about Suzie and Ceaser who drive from place to place to see who needs help.
It is about Mark Spear, who has no idea what he is going to when the election ends.
This is about Ericka, who has to listen to people decades her junior, chat rubbish as she calmly builds a business empire for Obama selling everytype of t-shirt in the office.
This is about the friendships that we have made and will stay forever, it is about the networks and teams of people who want to change,
No-one put it better than the coolest political operator on the East Coast. Nate Sherwood, who runs the South Beach operation in a way that is simply fantastic.
We are volunteers, we are told to do our jobs but we can put our own spin on it.
Drinkin a rum in the Tap Tap bar, reflecting after a day where thousands of doors were knocked on his patch.
He said: "People don't get it, this campaign is not about Obama, it is about the people in it.
"He is a just a politician, he can't change the country on his own, we are the ones who can change this country.
"What this campaign has done is brought people together, the important this is that these networks, these teams that have changed politics and worked so well, stay together to really change the story."
To me Obama has given me an experience that money could just never buy, in the future he probably will do stuff I disagree with. But I will never forget this moment, the hope, the belief, the unity, and if he wins and it all goes wrong, se le ve baby. Like my ex-loves, I will remember the good times and not how the relationship ended............
