After recuperating from several weeks of lack of sleep, with 2 or 3 hour long nights being very common, it is an absolute pleasure for me to use My 100th post to thank all the voters in Cabarrus County for giving Barack Obama a victory in My own County.
With the odds stacked up against us in this County, we managed to pull out a victory thanks to the very hard and dedicated work of dozens of volunteers. The demographics in Cabarrus County working against us, with a relatively small African-American population and a majority of older Democrats, the Obama campaign predicted we would lose here by 2%. Instead, thanks to staff and so many volunteers, we won by 4%.
We won, thanks to all those days of door-to-door canvassing, making calls, distributing fliers and door hangers, giving rides to the polls and putting up yard signs. It was hard work, but it paid off and I'm sure I speak for all the other local volunteers when I say that we very eagerly look forward to the fall to start doing it all over again.
It was very inspiring to witness the enthusiasm and spirit that drives all our volunteers on a scale I haven't witnessed in a political campaign before.
We won this battle, even though some people stubbornly refuse to admit it, but the war will be won in November.
After this Primary victory we're not hibernating, but we keep organizing and building upon this success to prepare for the big battle in November. So join our group and be a part of history.
Trust me, come this fall, Cabarrus County is in for a surprise.
