One of the young organizers who talks in this video about organizing in PA is the same Ashley, I believe, that Obama referenced right at the end of his speech on race relations, "A More Perfect Union." (The moment when he discusses where one elderly African-American man says he's there to support Obama because of people like Ashley.) Pretty cool she's working for Obama. Her story is a powerful one. And this is a neat look at Obama's ground campaign and philosophy of organizing.

2. Great video, eh?

I love seeing these young organizers out on the street and talking with people. No matter what happens in the election, getting youth involved will help the Dems for decades to come.
