Draft Obama! Why Bother?


By Peter Feddo - Posted on 22 January 2007

VoteHillary.org, the "draft" website for Hillary Clinton, was created three years ago by Peter Feddo, a 23-year-old technology consultant in Richmond, Virginia, who says he spends more than twenty hours a week on the effort. He believes Clinton "acknowledged the grassroots call for her candidacy" by entering the race this weekend. While Feddo is generally upbeat about people getting active for any potential candidate, he did contrast Hillary's supporters with a more synthetic description of Obama's high-powered boosters. "It's certainly helped the draft Obama people to have Astroturf layers out there, but we've got the real deal," he said.
