| From Election Day |
I like this photo, captured with a friend’s cell phone, because it captures both the rainy ambiance and the uplifting spirit of being downtown last night.

He’s my President, and I know he’s Durham’s.

Obama in Raleigh
Barack Obama was in Raleigh yesterday; so were 25,000 of his closest friends in the Tarheel state.
A free event, the line to get in wrapped around several city blocks.
Rodney Hines, the No Hands King was among Obama’s supporters who came out for the rally.
UPDATE: As of Wednesday, 70,896 people have already voted in Durham, or 42% of registered voters.
in the days Obama
Out canvassing with friends this weekend, we came across Lewis Days‘ house. Days, the bike man, is eager to vote in this historic election, and agreed to let us place a sign in his yard.
UPDATE: As of the end of the day Sunday, Durham county is up to 53,247 votes.
