Message From the Chair
Jay Rowden

OBAMA TO HAVE HEADQUARTERS IN HERNANDO COUNTY!

We have received the official word that we will have an Obama Headquarters in our county. They are planning on having
it on the ground within the next two weeks.
We need volunteers and hope each and everyone one of you will find the time
to help with all of our candidates campaigns

Jay Rowden
Chairman HCDEC

NEWS

Steve Schale, the hot shot Floridian who helped Florida Democrats pick off nine state House seats in the last couple years, has agreed to be Barack Obama's state director in Florida. Ashley Walker will be deputy state director, and the headquarters will be opening soon in Tampa.

"When you see us reach our full staff level, you're going to see an operation the size of which this state has never seen before on our side,'' said Schale, lavishing praise on Walker and dismissing talk (see here) about Obama not playing to win in Florida. "I would not take this job if I did not think Sen. Obama was committed to winning this state or didn't think he could win this state."
