April V. just sent in this write-up about the Obama booth at the recent San Mateo County Democratic Straw Poll event.
From the first time I heard about the Obama Bay to Breakers Float and saw a photo of it on the BayAreaForObama.com website, I knew there had to be another venue where it could be displayed in all of its Baracking glory!! That time arrived at the recent San Mateo County Democratic Presidential Straw Poll. With help from Lance U., Spencer P. and Steve A., I drove to Vacaville and rescued the top part of the float from a storage yard, reincarnating it into a stationary display piece next to the excellent Obama booth at the Straw Poll.
Straw Poll Booth for Obama
It was greatly admired by all who saw it, and I am happy to report that it has found a good home in Pete G.'s (CD 14) Palo Alto garage, awaiting its next showing at the Salinas Straw Poll in December.
Thanks to all of the inspired artisans who created this work of Obamart for all to gaze upon and enjoy. It empowers us and acts as a reminder that true political change is within our grasp.
GObama 08!!
