The buzz from local blogs: “A level of seriousness”

Tonight, in the reddest county in Georgia, an Obama fellow showed up with at least 6 other volunteers to work the Cumming Fairgrounds before the fireworks show. They were all young, good looking, well dressed people. And they came toting clipboards.

… These young kids plastered dozens of people with Obama stickers and otherwise fanned out to register voters and sign up volunteers. Let’s just say they didn’t come up empty. The fellow was on his second signup sheet when I left. Who knows how many others got signed up. It was professional. It was a clinic.

I’m not sure I can even adequately describe how completely foreign this is to Forsyth County. Yet, there they were, delivering a bit of presidential campaign reality to a place that gave Kerry little more than 18% of the vote in 2004.

A level of seriousness people.
