In 2007 I found myself on the Obama for America campaign team's electronic mailing list.
Since then I have received innumerable e-mails from almost everyone associated with Democrat presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama, except his family dog.
I have even been thanked for my 'help' in the Massachusetts primary. Which came as a complete surprise as I had no idea that I had been so busy!
At the end of Super Tuesday I received this e-mail from an obviously exultant team.
E-mail text
"The votes will be counted into the night and into tomorrow, but today we won states and we won delegates in every part of the country.
As of right now, we have won more states and delegates than Senator Clifton. It's a remarkable achievement we can all be proud of.
Tonight, we know one thing for sure -- our time has come, our movement is real, and change is coming to America.
At this moment in history, the stakes are too high and the challenges too great to play the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expect a different result.
This time must be different.
There will be those who say it cannot be done. But we know what we have seen and what we believe -- that when ordinary people come together we can still do extraordinary things.
Yes, we can.
Thank you so much,
Barack"
