Obama vs. McCain -- 19 days to go. Running to the finish line.

Very much like Usain Bolt, who broke two world recods at the recent Olympics, we must run all the way to the finish line to secure this victory for Barack Obama. Unlike the primaries, where there were many contests to build a commanding lead, this comes down to one race to the finish -- Winner take all.

I went to the Obama Campaign Office today and volunteered to help get out the vote in Columbus, Ohio.

I committed to make phone calls to people in this urban community, even though I live in a suburban community. I joined others who are making hundreds of phone calls to encourage people to support Obama, and vote. More volunteers are still needed to get out the vote.

Over the course of the next 19 days, we will make thousands of calls, and transport many voters to their voting locations. Even though the opinion polls suggest that Obama is building a commanding lead, we must carry on this urgent appeal to voters right up to election day. Any support that you can give will get us one step closer to the victory, but we need our best effort all the way to the finish line.

It is not too late to volunteer your support. Click here -- http://action.barackobama.com/page/s/newvo... -- to find the volunteer opportunities in your community.

I can't wait until we swear in Obama as the next President of the U.S.A. I am looking forward to this and I am happy that he is the best man for the job. He (Obama) is the cream of the crop!

Roger, with these major stumbles like Palin and now Plumber Joe being backed by McCain, only Obama and Biden will make it to the finish line.

But, I hope not as I just had my poll clerk training today(smile) We were told that our state's attorney general has said that those who had lost their homes/living at a new address only had to come to their old polling place to vote with no worry. It would be nice if the state of California or any other state would run a public service address over the public air wavesabout this. I will try to get some attention to this matter as soon as possiable.
