Obama Wins Democratic Party Nomination for President!
Barack Obama has secured enough delegates to win the Democratic party's nomination for President of the United States of America. This is truly a historic moment, full of significance for our nation. I have never been so inspired or moved to action as I have been by this incredible candidate and his campaign. I am very happy to report that I have been offered and accepted an internship with the campaign. I will be traveling to my home state and crucial battleground of Ohio. I look forward to assisting the campaign.

About Me
- Matt
- Lima, Ohio, United States
- I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.

I guess I now understand why that Obama seemed invincible here in Gallatin County. This was Obama's best county in all of Montana - even topping Missoula.
That's really a little hard to explain because Gallatin County is considered a swing county in general elections; other swing counties were much more even - though trending slightly to Obama. It can only tell me that the demographics have changed dramatically - Bozeman has grown in population in the last ten years by almost 50%.
That suggests a lot of other thoughts that have little to do with Obama's win nationwide.
In any event, the rest of this drama will be interesting to watch.
Take care.
Congrats, Matt! I am so glad that he finally won the nomination. I just hope that McCain doesn't win in the end. We're in trouble if he does. You and Jen should pat yourselves on the backs for a job well done.
Going' back to Green Bean Casserole Country, eh?
Thank you.
Yes, I am traveling back to Ohio to intern with the campaign and do all that I can to see that Obama is the next president!
I am so very happy Obama secured the nomination. It will be a long road ahead for him, but I think he'll be able to win in the end. I pray he does! Best of luck to you also as you intern. God bless and safe traveling. I'll be praying for both you and Barack Obama!
Thank you very much!
