I was out doing errands this afternoon and saw Obama supporters staked out at the intersections of Ashby Ave./Claremont Ave., Keith/College Ave. (Rockridge BART), and Broadway and 51st St.
They were waving signs and banners at passing cars. Over the last few months, I’ve seen a few Clinton stickers around and two Edwards banners, but for the most part, this neighborhood seems to be Obama country, through and through.

I’m hoping all of California will be Obama country by tomorrow evening. I went to an Obama rally last night with my wife. I’m 35, and I’ve never been to anything like that before in my life. Not that I’m not politically active, I am. But rallies and rah-rah events aren’t generally my thing. Nor, for that matter, are presidential candidates. But this was something else. Michelle Obama was speaking. We arrived an hour and a half early, and there was already a line. By the time they opened the doors a half hour later, it snaked all the way around the building and was growing faster than people were going in the doors. I don’t know what they did with the overflow, but people had to have been turned away. It was seriously like being at a rock concert. It was absolutely electric.
