At SLANTblog the mood at Virginia’s campaign headquarters is…
Approaching the Virginia headquarters for Sen. Barack Obama it became obvious right away — this is not your Dad’s campaign office. It’s on the ground floor of an ancient brick building at the corner of W, Marshall St. and Norton St. That’s directly behind VCU’s spiffy basketball arena, the Stuart C. Siegel Center.
Perhaps more importantly, it’s not downtown, where tradition would have it. Geographically, it’s centrally-located, but it’s not on a high traffic thoroughfare like Main St.
Most of the signage on the widows and inside the headquarters was hand-painted. The people working in the front room, volunteers and staff, ranged in age from early-20s to 60-ish. The mood was decidedly upbeat and more than a little anticipatory. Like the rest of the world, they were waiting for the word from Obama concerning his selection for a running mate.
