Center of the Universe

An update from the center of the universe in politics (this week), from Florida's Carmel Perez Snyder:
Don't bring your water bottles, big bags, food, chairs, etc. Security was tight at the first Obama rally in Tampa since the Democratic boycott of Florida. But no one told Divided We Fail staff and volunteers to leave the pledge cards at home. Determined volunteers like Tess Canja worked the crowd as they waited for the candidate to appear. Not only did DWF Florida get one television interview and several notable newspaper interviews - they also walked out with more than 110 signed pledges and half the crowd by the stage was wearing Champ buttons.
