I have encountered Obama reps outside by apartment twice in the past week. Within a one block radius, I spotted six different clipboard-toting DNC'ers. On both occasions, I was stopped by representatives who asked me, "Do you have a minute for Barack Obama?" and "Are you an Obama supporter?" Being a sucker for SWAG, I indulged the first rep's pitch -- she was raising money (duh) for something or other with the Obama campaign. I asked her if I would snag a button in exchange for my donation, and she regretfully informed me that she didn't have any buttons to give out -- but that they would probably make her job a little easier. (sigh)
Anyway, cut to a couple of days later. Obama reps are once again out in full force - three on each side of the street, stopping anyone and everyone as they come by.
And then... we learn this: It's" Bam TV: Barack Obama Buys a Half Hour of Prime Time on CBS, NBC - US News and World Report.
So now I see why the DNC has been logging so many hours on my street - to help fund Obama's TV Pilot! I wonder what kind of show he'll do --- will he launch a book club?!? Is Oprah producing? Any guest stars slated to appear? And most importantly, will my neighborhood be a credited sponsor?
I can just see the graphic before Obama's third "Change" monologue, saying: This broadcast was brought to you by the fine New Yorkers in Murray Hill - the frozen yogurt capital of Manhattan.
24 days...
