Obama ROCKS the Apollo!

Just a quick photo-recap of last night's fundraiser at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. Barack drew an overflow crowd of supporters and soon-to-be supporters.
Apologies for the quality of the photos. My little digital is not up to the task of taking photos in a dark theater from 15 rows back. Well, you'll get the idea anyway.
As is always the case with Obama events, people started lining up early. I was there 1 1/2 hours before the doors were scheduled to open, and the line in front of me was already quite long. A friend who was with me, who is still undecided for 2008, was amazed by the crowd, remarking, "How does he do this? It's incredible that he attracts all of these people!"

I'm a member of a merry little band of Obama volunteers in New York City. This is the story of what we're doing on the ground.
I'm just one person in a small group in a big city in a very big Super-duper Tuesday state, a state in which the front runner in the race is a popular U.S. Senator.
Our group, Downtown East for Obama, may be a small piece of the overall campaign, but we've had a big impact. I'm very proud of what we've accomplished, and have seen first hand that Obama supporters are the most fired up, hard-working volunteers out there. It's exciting to imagine groups all across this city, state and nation doing their part--just as we've been doing ours--to help Barack win the nomination.
