Looks like Livingston County will be in the thick of things as Barack Obama courts voters in the presidential campaign.
Obama's campaign already has assigned two staffers to the county.
Yes, it's only July, and that's two staffers, not one. And yes, it's that "We don't get any respect" Livingston County.
Is that aggressive or what?
The two staffers have already been to the county to meet county officers and will hold their first event, a "Yes We Can" organizational meeting next Tuesday, July 15, at 7 p.m. at Livingston County Democratic Party Headquarters, 10321 E. Grand River, Suite 600, Brighton.
The staffers are Chelsea Neblett, from Pinckney, and Fahad Faruqi, of Ann Arbor.
Yes, that's two staffers, and their first event will be in July, not September.
Livingston County Democrats already had held a Barack Obama Unite for Change meeting to bring volunteers together. But this meeting is a chance for volunteers to meet the people who will be running the Obama operation on the ground here through the summer.
The addition of the Obama campaign staff to the county means they will take over responsibility for organizing for the presidential race. Local party officers can concentrate on local races, while providing assistance as necessary to the Obama staff.
It also means Obama intends to fight for every Democratic vote everywhere and that they believe there are plenty of Obama votes to be gotten right here in Livingston County.
That is great news for our county!
