As presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama gave his acceptance
speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colo.
Thursday night, here in West Bend, Flo Moran and many others had no
doubt he was their candidate.
"He couldn’t be better. He’s our future. I truly believe
he’s our future," said West Bend resident Moran.
At the Binkery on West Washington Street, she and 30 or so Obama
supporters gathered to listen to his speech, applauding often and
letting out a loud cheer when he finished.
"Good job, Barack," Moran said to the wall-mounted
flat-screen TV. "That was so cool. I loved it."
Across town, at another gathering of 30 or so Obama-backers in
the outdoor patio at the Buffalo Wild Wings on West Paradise Drive,
West Bend West High School senior Josh Spikes, 17, thought much the
same.
Spikes, fighting a cold, is an intern for the Barack Obama We Can
Change Campaign. "That’s what the whole campaign is about -
what can we do to create change. I’ve been doing it for four
weeks," he said of the internship. "And it goes all the
way to the election (in November)."
