Obama’s Army // Current

Vanguard correspondent Mariana van Zeller takes us for an inside look at the Obama machine and its army of young volunteers and campaign workers. From the cornfields of Iowa to the battleground state of Texas, she examines how young people played an integral and many times a leading roll in helping Barack Obama capture the Democratic nomination. In Obama's Army, Mariana not only explores if Obama's success will continue in the general election, but if his candidacy is a reflection of a larger generational shift in American politics.

- What is that song that they play right after she says "this year there was a record turnout" and right before the reporter from the Des Moines register starts speaking towards the first 1/4 of the pod?

- Are they going to stay there after the election? Would be *really* interesting to keep the grassroots 'direct line to the president' involved in the community.

- Great pod! My only feedback would be that the piece could have mentioned Students for Barak Obama, and the fact that it is separate from Obama for America, completely student-run, and operates with no funding from the campaign whatsoever. It's exciting to watch history in the making.
