Yesterday the CD 5 organizers trained 30 Somali youth on canvassing in their neighborhoods for Barack Obama.

First morning in Minneapolis

It took us 20 hours to get to Minneapolis from NYC. After the first 13 hours of driving we stopped and spent the night in Chicago with Sam's folks. In Minneapolis, we woke up early for breakfast at delicious Hell's Kitchen. It seems weird that Minneapolis (and most other cities) have better breakfast joints than NYC, but there it is. Sam pretended to be a local by reading the Star Tribune. 2 hours later I started my job with the Obama campaign. At 10 am. On a Sunday. The day before Labor Day. Welcome to the Campaign World.
