Sunday

Last Sunday Danielle Glover (our Regional Field Director) took me along to two Mark Udall events. I guess I had the most volunteer recruitments so as my price I got to work for 12 hrs at Udall events, lol. No it was actually pretty fun, I got to meet Mark Udall and his wife Maggie Fox AND his very attractive manager. Udall and his wife are very charming in person. Maggie tries to stay away from the spotlight, for instance while we were at this small and very "hip" coffee shop in Carbondale Maggie stayed in the other section while Mark and 100 of his supporters were in the back. Udall talked about why he voted twice against the new bail-out. He said he didn't believe it would solve any of the problems, it meant more money being spent. He also talked about water rights and getting the USA out of Iraq. I will admit that sometimes he sounded too cheesy, every event he would say the same jokes and tell the same stories. The weirdest one involved his mother. Apparently she got in a horrible accident when Mark was running for Congress and before the paramedics could rescue her from her car she made them promise her that they would vote for Mark. He said quote "you all have to be like my mother."

I happened to watch Fox news a couple days ago ( I know you're shocked Mr.Coit) and they had a program that was all about how Obama is linked to religious crazy people, like his pastor etc ... I got very annoyed with the program so I shut it off.
