Our visibility has been great. And, we have a couple of strong super-delegates supporting us. The latest poll numbers, reported by the Burlington Freepress look good - projecting 60% for Obama.

But, we all know how well the poll numbers predicted in New Hampshire. Not to be negative here, but I don’t know that we want to trust them - I expect we will trust the vote count, and that’s about it.

And, besides, I would like to give all our delegates to Obama, not just 60%. I am amazed at the movement we are growing here, and the work is paying off.

Our strength, one that I have seen working from the day I stepped into the Chicago Headquarters this past October is in our connection with people; in our supporters talking to friends, neighbors, … it is exciting to see how these simple conversations are growing into a movement. As Barack says, “What began as a whisper …”

I was down in Brattleboro for coursework this weekend. There was a big Hillary sign, getting a smattering of honks in the center of town. I thought what I was seeing was a miniature Clinton comeback. So I walked up to the woman, and asked her “You Fired Up?”
She replied “This is hard work. Vermont is a tough town”. So the big sign looks like big support, but things aren’t always what they seem. Vermont may be tough for those just coming in, those who easily confuse us with a town.

It is easy to underestimate Vermont, and I am thinking that if we keep up this work, 60% may be an under-estimate.
