I gotta show you some of these pictures. Florida and canvassing for Obama can be mighty intriguing visual experiences.

Jasons Uncle goes bananas for Halloween every year. This is his living room.

His front yard was full of bright spooky things

Speaking of bananas, in Florida they have three-inch banana spiders that like to make webs near your house and eat you. Not poisonous, but scary nonetheless.

This is Josh. Hes the life of our office. We took this picture outside the Biden rally today. Everytime he sees me he comes up and gives me a hug. He loves my name.

The doors opened at 1pm and Biden didnt come on until close to 5pm. The Lower 13th Street Jazz Band played for a good two hours.

By the time Biden rolled in the crowd got pretty big. Publicity for the event was shoddy and the location and time werent announced until late, so turnout wasnt expected to be high.

On stage, Biden knocked the mavericks as nothing but sidekicks, touted his wife with the chant Jill, baby, Jill, and ended with a rousing Go Get em Gators! for the crowd

My angle sucked, but I was close to the stage the whole time. My job was crowd control inside the VIP area.
