At Home In The Wasteland Travel Blog

The night before election day, myself and several friends attended Obama’s final rally in Manassas, VA. With all the traffic on 66, it took us about 2.5 hours to get from Arlington to Manassas (around 30 miles). We ended up parking in some random neighborhood and followed the mass of people heading towards the Prince [...]

I realize the election was over a month ago, but I had to do a quick post on my experience with the Obama campaign in Northern Virginia. When I moved across the river to Arlington, I finally decided to stop absentee voting in California and register to vote in Virginia, which was up for grabs [...]

No, not regarding the recent primary results. More like four years ago. I wrote a few blog entries while I was working in New Hampshire in 2004, but a recent “Can you believe it’s been four years already?” e-mail from a fellow campaign intern started me on this. I don’t have a candidate for this [...]

So, our time has come…Clark dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination. I am disappointed, of course…I thought that we could have done much better, but Kerry is on a roll. We’ll hear from the pundits about “what went wrong” (skipping Iowa? placing novices in campaign positions they weren’t prepared to deal with? [...]

It’s official – I’m one of California’s 241 District Level Delegates for Wesley Clark. With any luck I’ll be representing California’s lovely 45th Congressional District at the DNC convention in Boston. So come on California, vote for Wes Clark on March 2nd!

I’m back in Palm Desert, California…should I mention that it’s 75 degrees right now? Yeah, that’s right…no more long johns, fleece, or snow boots for Lindsay! Anyways, my last days in New Hampshire were a lot of fun. The office was full of volunteers the weekend before the election, so we were able to do [...]

Today’s the day….who will come out on top? I’ve got some cool stories about General and Mrs. Clark hanging out at the farmhouse with us…I’ll post them when I get back to CA. Not much time here…need to get out the vote. We are spending the day in the Lakes Region and then heading down [...]

Greetings from the Granite State…not much time to write anything, but here’s something… Anyone see the debate on Thursday? Did you see me mixing it up with the Kerry supporters outside the debate? The place was a damn circus…I loved it. Kerry had his supporters parade down the street to the entrance of the debate. [...]

Have I mentioned how great it is to be in New Hampshire for the primaries? We had 3 Clark events on Saturday, so we were out of the house at 6am to put up tons of road signs and do event setup. The weather was a balmy 20 degrees, which is actually pretty warm compared [...]

Damn, I’m tired. We left the farmhouse at 7:30 to do some rush hour visibility, then spent some time putting up 2 huge 4×8 ft Clark signs, which is fun to do when the temp is in the 20s, its snowing, and the ground is practically frozen. Twenty degrees actually isn’t too bad…we were lucky [...]
