A handful of Obama supporters toured bars in the East Village on Friday night. They talked up the senator’s better points to fellow New Yorkers over pints of Guinness and Stella. They even made a few new friends – and picked up some supporters along the way.

See the faces and hear the voices of some of the folks who discussed politics over the weekend at the El Valle restaurant on Jerome Avenue, National Doughnut on Bedford Park Blvd., and Starbucks on W. 225th Street.

Obama Fans Hit The Span

Gregory Smith calls himself the gardener of a grassroots movement that drove a crowd of Brooklynites to march over the city’s most iconic bridge in support of Barack Obama.
But Smith was more of a cheerleader than a groundskeeper on Saturday, as he jumped up and down demanding marchers repeat the candidate’s buzz phrase — “Yes, we can.”
Harlem Barack Backers Speak Out
Harlem4Obama, a grassroots political organization, has been pounding the streets of the community in an effort to deliver the presidency to Senator Barack Obama.
“His message is very clear. It’s a message for the future,” said Michael Washington, the group’s president. “He’s shown extreme ability to cross numerous lines that have divided us for a long time.”
