Obama camp HQ is a frathouse

Jan. 2, 2012 3:20pm Eddie Scarry

The only thing missing is a kegerator.

A writer for Newsweek visited President Barack Obama‘s reelection campaign headquarters in Chicago recently. Here’s how he described it:

[T]here was a blue Ping-Pong table in the middle of the office—custom-made, evidently, because the Obama 2012 logo was emblazoned on it. (Twice.) There were printouts of people’s nicknames—Sandals! Shermanator!—where corporate nameplates usually go. There was a mesh trucker hat from South Dakota, which was blaze orange and said “Big Cock Country” on the crown. There was a cardboard speech bubble (“nom nom data nom”) affixed to an Uglydoll. There was miniature air-hockey table. A narwhal mural. A stuffed Rastafarian banana.

Big what country?

Hey, Obama found a job he’s good at. Though I’m confident he will manage to screw up pizza delivery.

This is how I would have written the story:
-Obama camp intense and serious despite having games in offices-
It seems as if the Obama camp has not only gotten geared up, but are stronger and more prepared than they were at this same point during the last presidential election. A story from the Daily Beast describes a stroll through Obama’s Chicago HQ. Andrew Ramano describes the scene as “intense” despite having Obama branded ping-pong tables and other frat-house-esque games around…

I appreciate the link.
