Utah politics unusual
The Rev. France Davis of Calvary Baptist Church waits patiently to see Michelle Obama. He does the obligatory TV interviews, while young people cheer, "Yes we can!"
No one (about 800 people — split pretty evenly between middle age and young — are in chairs and more are arriving) seems to know exactly how to behave at a rally — for the first time anyone in this young crowd can remember, Democratic presidential candidates are actually making an effort in Utah.
On Sunday, Davis said his church is non-partisan in the election. Today, he has two "Obama '08" stickers and a button on his lapel. Many of his mainly African-American congregation have also showed up.
We talk briefly about Obama's message of hope and change. "I'm working his themes into my sermons," Davis says.
