Inside the Obama Office

I dropped by the Obama office on Broadway today to soak up some of the atmosphere. The place is electric; filled with hundreds - no exaggeration - of volunteers, it's busy as a beehive on steroids. One of several statewide locations, the New York City office is the largest of a network of offices that will make three million calls before Tuesday. The Obama campaign isn't paying anyone to make phone calls - the entire effort depends on volunteers. Volunteers like you. Plus, odds are, you'll run into some interesting people; Sarah Jessica Parker was there on Thursday, today, they had Congressman Anthony Weiner, City Comptroller Bill Thompson (but not Michael Bloomberg, hint, hint), Tennis Star John McEnroe, and Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary.

The front desk



Half of one gigantic room, one of several, filled with volunteers calling away as if the election depended on them. Which it does.

Look exciting? Be a part of it. Go here and find your local phone bank - they've been set up all over the state.
