Holla' from the South, Y'alls

I'm writing from the Barack Obama Campaign headquarters in Orangeburg, South Carolina, where I'm here volunteering. It's now T-minus 6 days until the SC Democratic primary election, and energy is HIGH.

I'm absolutely impressed by the voter and community mobilization here. This is truly a grassroots campaign, and is operating outside of the traditional political machinery, relying on churches, barbershops, and good old-fashioned word of mouth to recruit support.

Details later, but the spirit on the ground is great and people are working really, really hard for the primary. It's uber-exciting. Fingers crossed for next Saturday. GOBAMA!
