I have been volunteering for the Obama campaign (I live in Florida), and let me tell you, it has brought my hope and optimism to a whole new level.
There is nothing like going into a campaign headquarters and being among the OLDEST people there (I'm 33). There is nothing like going to a rally (http://miintikwa.livejournal.com/1414979.html) and seeing all kinds of people, from a little 86 year old man who served in the Air Force, and was delighted to tell his story, to a six year old girl volunteering with her mom, who thinks that Obama is just the bee's knees.
I was worried, scared, half-disbelieving and hopeless until I started volunteering. The people in this campaign have given me hope again. I just pray I still have it at the end of the day today.
