Clooney won’t stump for Obama, but Noel will!

It’s Super Tuesday everyone. If you’re in a state where votes are being counted today, I hope you will head or have already headed to the polls. Hawaii is not a “Super Tuesday” state - we’ll be holding a caucus later in the month. However, Noel will be engaging in Super Tuesday activity as he plans to head downtown this afternoon to join a group of Obama supporters to watch Super Tuesday results coverage. Yes, you read that right! Noel is an Obama supporter. Last week he attended a meeting for potential volunteers, and plans to join the Obama campaign once he’s done with the Bar exam. I’m just happy he’s voting; for as long as I’ve known him he didn’t participate in any elections. And that he’s backing a Dem is icing on the cake! If he allows me to blog about it (and I think he will), I’ll be sure to provide any insider-information and nuggets from within the campaign trenches. He’s already provided a few nuggets on the varied personalities of fellow volunteers: The Collegian in Charge – 23-year old female lead volunteer, organizer of the volunteers. When she found out there were hopeful 15- and 16-year olds at the meeting, she barked; “You’re too young to vote. You’ll be babysitting while parents are voting at the caucus.” (!) The Army guy – another wannabe volunteer at the meeting last week. Iraq veteran, very much anti-Iraq. And then we have Noel, always having to make a joke, replying to the question, "Why are you here?:" “Well I saw the Obama girl video and that was pretty much it.” He later admitted to me that he was disappointed - he had hoped she would be there.
