Four donors to the Obama campaign were chosen today to have dinner with the Illinois senator next month. These four are considered to be small donors to the campaign, but the amount contributed was not disclosed. These four people are "average joes" and citizens of the United States who support the democractic party, in particular Barack Obama. Reading about this made me wonder about how much contact these candidates get with the people they're trying to get votes from. Sure, these candidates meet and greet people at every rally they hold, but its so early for all of this. True, its been almost 40 years since an encumbant hasn't run for President, and I don't remember the 2004 presidential being this crazy either. Its funny because the four peopel chosen to have dinner with Obama are from four states that are purple and usually sway the overall votes. Nevada, Florida, New York, and Louisiana are four states that aren't politically affiliated yet. I just wonder what they would talk about. Politics? Families? One lady who is having dinner with Obama has a husband serving in Iraq. I wonder if they will talk about Obama's presidential plan. Will these four have interviews with the media afterwards? I'm very curious to see what will happen with these four. I wish I could spend time with a candidate and talk candidly about anything that pops into mind. Sports, movies, gossip. Just to get a feel of what kind of person this candidate will be.
