Obama Central: 14th & U St NW
So, we went out to dinner tonight, on U St., not that far from our abode. Both on the way there and back, couldn't help but notice the Obama supporters, waving signs at passing cars, at both U St. & 13th and 14th. As you might guess, based on demographics, if Obama is going to win the DC primary Tuesday--and it's very likely that he will--then the U St. corridor is in his proverbial "wheel house"--African Americans and young white professionals. Indeed, there are very few obvious HRC voters in the 'hood.
Even a wino walking by on U St. was chanting "Obama, Obama . . . ." And he had a bottle in a paper sack.
In sum, there's a full-force mobilization on U Street. America, look out!

And don't forget: Southeast has Marion Barry out campaigning for Obama, too. So it's not just the U Street hipsters.
Until Barry decided to endorse Obama, we had him pegged as a sure HRC supporter. Barry did say he "almost" went for HRC, but then he "heard Obama on C-SPAN," and decided that he was "like a breath of fresh air."
I'm sure HRC will get votes in Georgetown, at least.
