There's nothing pedestrians love more than running into groups of college students clustering on the sidewalk with clipboards and messagey t-shirts, making intense eye contact and hollering, "HI OKAY WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAVE THE WORLD AWESOME YAY." Now at last you can be one of those dreadful people, and on behalf of Barry "The Mad Bomber" Hussein Mussolini Obama!
The campaign's San Francisco Walk for Change starts this Saturday, the 9th, in Dolores Park. "...hit the streets for the Walk for Change National Canvass being organized by grassroots supporters of Barack Obama. Bring this movement of change to the front doors of your neighbors," the invitation goes. Awesome! What time should we show up? Oh, nine am on a Saturday? IT JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER!



One other interesting local connection is that Newsom claims Obama won't be seen with him in public because of the gay marriage thing:
"One of the three Democrats you mentioned as presidential candidates [Obama, Clinton, Gore] God as my witness, will not be photographed with me, will not be in the same room as me, even though I’ve done fundraisers for that particular person not once but twice, because of this issue."

I remember from the Chronicle that the fundraisers were for Obama. As much as I dislike Gavin, that's pretty weak on Obama's part.
