Getting Evan

It was July of 2005. We were at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore. We'd not yet formed DraftGore2008 PAC, or started the $5 ask, the Maine test for breadth of a candidate's support, Senator Clinton and also Senators Edwards and Kerry, even Senator Lieberman, were the probables, and Senator Obama was just another pretty face a year after his convention cameo. Car camping in the same loop was a family who's vehicle had a bumper sticker that read "Bayh for President".

How weird. To have missed from before the beginning the real meaning of the Obama Movement.
