Went to Philadelphia yesterday for some Obama canvassing with Kate . We were sent to West Philly , which is a fairly run - down sort of neighborhood but which is also a tightly - knit community where the residents are eager to talk about what 's going on in their lives . It was a pretty great experience going door to door and just chatting with folks to help raise the excitement level in advance of the election . The highlight was definitely coming across a group of kids playing on a porch who sang us a song they 'd written about Obama .

Question: What may have caused you to be sent to West Philly ?
Answer: I was campaigning for Kate .I was campaigning for a candidate .None of the above choices .I wanted to interview the residents about their lives .
