Awesome Obama Visibility in Adams Morgan
Friday nights I like to walk Dirt McGirt down 18th Street, the main stretch of bars and nightlife in DC and usually full of interesting things at the start of the weekend.
Tonight, as we approached the busy intersection of 18th & Columbia, I heard tons of cars honking. I figured some dumbass wasn’t turning left on the advance left arrow from Adams Mill Rd, but the honking was pretty persistent, and I didn’t see anything like a long line of cars waiting to turn.
Honk honk honk-honk-honk – WTF? How is a rhythmic honk supposed to communicate one’s complete and utter frustration with a fellow driver’s inability to pay attention?
A girl darted across the intersection, running straight to a white Mazda pulled over in front of Starbucks, the driver’s arm outretched from the window. The girl handed him an Obama sign.
That’s when I realized there was a cluster on every corner of people waving Obama signs, shouting for Obama, and even chanting Obama chants. The honks were from cars passing in every direction honking for Obama.
A woman deftly stuck a pamphlet in front of me as I rounded the McDonald’s – an Obama pamphlet customized for DC, with an insert from DC for Obama on how to vote on Tuesday. I told the woman I was voting for him – she said, Remember, vote on Tuesday. These Obama volunteers were well trained, incredibly enthusiastic, and truly impressive.
As Dirt and I continued our walk down 18th St., more Obama volunteers were walking towards us, passing out Obama rally signs and campaign literature, reminding people to vote for Obama on Tuesday.
Not a Hillary supporter in sight. Can’t wait to vote Obama on Tuesday.
