DO I ever wish I had paid attention to this conversation!!!
----
At a political event at the "Obama For America" Headquarters in Northwest Philadelphia, skepticism was undeniable in the expressions of two of the visitors who had assembled to see and hear Hollywood and TV actress, Nia Long. The man with the baseball cap and backpack had CERTAINLY grabbed their attention.
----
I was covering (photographically) Nia Long's day, stomping at several Philadelphia locales for her candidate for President.
