Genius!

This morning when I got to the Gary Metro Center to catch the South Shore train, there was a cute old white dude in an Obama hat that said "Good morning ma'am, are you registered to vote?" I said "I sure am!"

Now, the Gary Metro Center is a genius place to try and sign up voters for Obama. First of all, anyone that knows Gary, IN, knows that it is predominantly a black community. (Not that all black people vote for Obama.) Not to make any generalizations, but I am guessing quite a few of the people around that area are not registered to vote. Plus, it is just a high traffic area in general. I hope he gets some people signed up and on the Obama bandwagon!

...However, he may have to come back in November and make sure everyone votes too!!! Registering is only half the battle.
This barn is in in Elkhart, IN. There are a handful of barns across Indiana and Ohio that are now Obama Barns. I think they're adorable! This one happens to be a friend of a friend's dad's barn in the picture. I saw an interview with him and he said that he made sure the paint will last for 8 years!

Voter registration in Indiana is up 500,000... of course since there's no party registration it's impossible to tell how many of those are Democrats... I'd be willing to say a good many are...
