I Canvassed for Barack today with my daughter! Yes We Can!

My fifteen-year-old daughter Carmen and I canvassed for Barack Obama today in Silverlake! It was fantastic. I think we are going to see a big surprise in the California polls come Tuesday! Seriously. We high-fived our (MANY!) fellow Obama supporters, had a door slammed in our faces (by this lady named Winifred! Carmen goes, "I never met a Winifred I could love",) we nodded quietly at the (FEW!) Hillary supporters, but best of all, I think between the two of us we literally managed to convince an undecided Independent voter to vote for Barack Obama! Really a moment to treasure.  I'm just high as a kite right now.

In case y'all want to burst into tears today, please have a look at this beautiful thing:
