I went to a small rally when he first started running. He was so attentive when he talked to you. He would look straight into your eyes and act like he really cared what you had to say. I was impressed.

I didn't voter for him at the caucus because I liked Edwards healthcare plan better. I'll never forget the caucus. OMG! It was the first one I was in charge of. The turnout was unreal. Triple the normal. The enthusiasm for Obama was catching.
