Obamamania sweeps Vancouver
Vancouverites selling Obama finger puppets and planning victory bashes
Call it what you like. Obamamania. We’ve got a crush on Obama. Whatever it is, Vancouver’s got it bad.
With just a day to go before one of the most historic elections in U.S. history, Vancouverites are selling Obama finger puppets, volunteering for his campaign and even planning his victory celebration.
Luke Black, whose family owns Deja Vu International Hair Studio on Commercial Drive, is one of many hosting a party Tuesday evening to watch the voting results roll in.
“All different types of people are going to be here. Young and old. Every nationality you can think of,” he says, standing in his studio before a TV blaring CNN’s constant election coverage.
Outside, he’s set up a table to sell T-shirts featuring the Illinois senator.
Black, who’s not an American but has family in the States, says that if the polls are right and Obama claims the White House Tuesday night, he’ll take to the streets to celebrate.
“If he wins, I’m going to cry. If he loses, I’m going to cry,” Black said.
