Sounds like Corey Ellis isn't just your run of the mill Common Council member. I like it. Pretty soon his detractors will be calling him "ambitious" (which to me is a compliment but to them is somehow a negative...if you don't believe me, read the NYTimes piece on how Obama is smart, disciplined, hardworking and has always been raising his goals to try to accomplish more AND that is somehow a bad thing).

Back to Ellis
"I think there is going to be a return to the grass roots campaigning we saw during the primary,” said Albany Common Councilman (Ward 3) and Obama delegate Corey Ellis. Ellis, just days away from attending the Democratic National Convention in Denver, told Metroland that he planned to use the opportunity to network with delegates and Obama campaign heads from battleground states like Pennsylvania and Ohio. Ellis has been heavily involved in running Albany for Obama. Headquartered on Lexington Avenue, Albany for Obama sent local volunteers to Ohio and Pennsylvania during the Democratic primary, and the organization wants to make sure that local Democrats will be able to spend weeks leading up to the election on the ground, knocking on doors and phone banking.
