I went to an Obama event yesterday. While California is typically quite progressive and liberal overall, I happen to live in an area that is amazingly conservative. Finding other progressives and liberals is always encouraging. I was so impressed that even with the rainy weather a really large group showed up.
We all held up Obama signs and people had signs that read "Honk for Obama and Biden." We had enough people to have groups on all four corners of a large and busy intersection. There were young parents with children in strollers, there was a couple in their 80's, there were several men who were veterans, there was also an exchange student from Japan who held a sign that read "End the War."
It was such a blast! Lots of people honked, waved and gave us thumbs up in support. We all hooted, hollered and waved.
There were also a fair share of thumbs down and sometimes we were flipped off too. We just gave those people the peace sign. In a couple of cases people were stopped at lights that were McCain supporters and after they would yell something we would call back "We love you anyway." It was such a high to be among this positive liberal group of people.
