Ok.... well... not yet... but HOPEfully? Maybe?  :)

I just responded to the latest email from Barack Obama with another donation.

In this email, he states that I could be one of the lucky ones to be with him on Election night in Chicago. Being a previous donor, I just had to donate one more time to get my name in the running.

I am not sure if the odds for winning are better or worse then the WA state Lotto, but... oh well, I did it anyways.

So what do you think? Do I have a chance?

I could be one of the "elite" jet setters flying off to Chicago on a whim, staying in a swanky Chicago hotel (motel 6?) and hopefully... meeting Barack Obama! (It does not actually say that. I think it might be a little difficult meeting the "president elect"!)

So.... here is the email.

Kevin --

I want you to be there with me on Election Night when the results come in.

We're planning a big event that will include tens of thousands of supporters in Grant Park in downtown Chicago.

We're saving some of the best seats in the house for 5 people who make their first donation to the campaign before Sunday at midnight.

If you're selected, you can bring a guest, and we'll fly you in and put you up in a hotel for the night. You'll go backstage at the big event and -- no matter what happens -- you'll have a front row seat to history as we celebrate the supporters who got us over the finish line.

Any donation counts -- whatever you can afford. Show your support at this crucial time with a donation of $5 or more, and you could join me on Election Night:

This movement for change has been a testament to the power of ordinary Americans coming together to achieve extraordinary things.

I look forward to having you there on Election Night.

Thank you,

Barack

I KNOW that this was a PERSONAL email to ME, but I thought I would share it with all of you... the little people.   ;)
