canvassing the cows: bovines for Obama

Today my canvassing partner Julian and I had an opportunity to ask a few cows how they were feeling about the election.  They were pretty unanimous for Obama, and pretty formidable in their numbers. From the sound of it, I think that we have the momentum here.

The actual story is that on one of the gorgeous roads we were canvassing in Gilmanton today, we came across a field of VERY vocal cows.  We stopped so that I could take some photos, and as we watched they began migrating en masse toward the gate.  We asked the farmer why they were moving that way and he said that he had been putting up new fence across the road and they knew they were moving.  Across the road was brilliant green, deep grass.  They were ready.  We asked if we could watch him move them and he said sure you can help.  So we stood blocking one side of the road as they moved. More photos on Facebook.

Here is the Obama chorus, including my poor attempt at engaging the bull at the end:
