| What attracted you to the Obama campaign? |
|||
| “In the beginning he seemed like he represented the change we needed. I really liked his education policy.” | “I am actually a Republican. Mainly his stance on the war on terrorism … I liked his position to refocus our efforts on Afghanistan to capture Osama.” | “He didn’t just stick to black and white. He could see the gray area in between.” | |
| Were you surprised Obama won Florida since Bush won it in 2004? |
|||
| “I knew he had the southern part of Florida, but we did a lot of work in northern Florida, especially in UNF’s precinct.” |
“The ground campaign for Obama was very strong. The week before the election, we had over 100 people volunteer at our office.” | “Obama had a much bigger campaign here.” | |
| What did you do for the campaign? | |||
| “At first we did a lot of on-campus voter registration, [but] as the campaign moved on we started working in the local office. Knocking on doors and phone banking.” |
“What didn’t I do? I think data entry was the only thing I didn’t do.” | “I was an intern for the campaign for a class as part of the foreign relations major. I set up an organization on- campus to register voters.” |
