Who are these people?

We like to say "progressives". But call 'em what you want, flaming liberals, pinkos, commies, hippy dippies. And what are they doing in my house? We had a dessert party for people associated with moveon.org to hear a conference call with Senator Barack Obama and personality Al Franken (former SNL). It was great fun - 38 people! We did not know most of them but some turned out to be close neighbors, so it was nice to meet them. Some were friends and work associates and some came from as far as Ventura and Oxnard. And Sofia... what a character. After the call, when people were mingling she went around to all the guests and asked, "Have you seen the playhouse? Would you like a tour?" Makes me all fuzzy inside.
