Baracking Wyoming

Headed up to Wyoming this weekend to rally up some caucus goers for their caucus this Saturday March, 8th. Brea and I will now be rocking our Wyoming for Obama shirts to the Denver County Convention this weekend...fun times, fun times. Here are a few pics of the Wyoming trip but in a nutshell: we hopped in the car early Saturday, hit two Cheyenne hot spots, Taco Johns or as we say Juans,
Here we are in the drive through at Taco Juans...Fired Up...Ready to Go!!
and then a quick stop at Eileen's Cookies:
Brea had asked for a cookie that said Obama '08...and if you squint really hard and look in the upper 1/100th of the cookie you'll see it...not to be outdone however by the USA filling the entire bottom of the cookie!! HA! Pretty sure they had not even hear of Obama in this cookie shop!Anway...on with the story!
We then hit the Cheyenne office. They were AMAZINGLY organized which was awesome, so we grabbed our flyers, clipboards and hit the road. The first neighborhood we hit had 99 people in it we were to talk to...and I'd say the average age was about 85 so not a lot of caucus goers, but we had some good talks with people.
Here is Brooke hitting up a door along the way.
We also ran into our first blantantly racist folks as well so that is always a fun time. We were speechless! We had a checkbox on our sheets IA for inaccessible which we changed to Ignorant American!
Here I am in the car with all of the Obama schhhhwaaaaaag we were handing out.
Once done with the first neighborhood we went back by the Wyoming office to get a new neighborhood and hit up as many as we could prior to dinner time. We then went out to celebrate a good day with some fellow Denver Obama peeps with some margaritas. This establishment was amazing as well. Apart from the pitchers of margaritas the artwork was well...INTERESTING!
Here is a pic of my favorite piece of artwork...wish you could tell in the picture that those are REAL pieces of bark on the picture! HA! Nothing says Mexican food like flamingos in the forest!
After drinks/snacks we were off to Brea's friend's place where I must say we were well taken care of. We hit a few more Cheytown hot spots and then hit the sack. And then came the wind...I was worried Brooke and I were going to get blown away the wind was so strong. We awoke the next morning to a whole lot of wind and snow...a little different than the 68 degree weather of the day before. So to avoid possibly being stranded in Wyoming we had to hit the road early...and returned to Denver.

We hope our travels at least get some more folks out to the caucus on Saturday...go Wyoming!!

The entire political world is about to focus on Wyoming...I don't know if that little state will be able to handle it (or if there will be enough Eileens cookies to go around! GObama!!!!!!!!!!
