Obama Benefit Shows This Week
October 13, 2008
Sure, there’s nothing more disappointing during a presidential race than being in “foregone conclusion” California. But while we won’t get the stump speeches or ad barrage that the swing states are getting, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t ways to get involved. To that end, there are a number of fundraiser shows for Barack Obama this week featuring some great indie music. Check out our rundown after the jump.
