Title

Description

A log by Les AuCoin of his experiences supporting the Barack Obama / Joe Biden ticket in the 2008 United States Presidential campaign in Ohio. AuCoin was a former U.S. Congressman from Oregon. At the time he wrote this log, he was serving as a visiting professor at Southern Oregon University. The photographs in the log were taken by his wife, professional photographer Sue AuCoin.

This log was originally published electronically as a blog in 2008. It covers the AuCoins' work for the Obama campaign between September 27 - November 3, 2008, mostly in Ohio; Les AuCoin's reactions to the results on Election Day, November 4, 2008; and reflections on Obama's victory, written on November 23, 2008. In 2022, AuCoin added comments to the original blog series and saved the text and images in the present PDF format.
