The man looked like he was practically going to grab me and shake me for "bothering him" with information from the party. Later on, I saw a woman actually yelling at the candidate, telling her how awful the party she is running for is. I've done this before, and I don't think I've ever encountered people this harsh in person. I have had a few nasty people on the phone though.

I've volunteered for Barack Obama, currently running for Senator of Illinois. My stepdad and I were going around the neighborhood giving people signs to put on their lawns. My stepdad goes up this young man and begins to talk him about Obama and when my stepdad goes to give him a sign he says "oh I don't live around here"
But you live in Illinois so what's the problem?
P.S. if Obama wins he will be the 3rd African American to hold a seat in the U.S. Senate.
