I've been on the email list as well and have received plenty of stuff that I haven't read, but I really imagined the email to taper down since the election.
I mean, he won so it's over, right?
Wrong.
The Obama campaign is still going. Or maybe it's not the campaign. It's the Obama team. The Obama movement.
Here's the email I got today.
What do you think?

I'm actually considering hosting or attending one of these parties. Would any of you come to one at my house?
Do you think this is just a gimmick, or is this what Time magazine asserts, a real social movement?

Jess,
I'm always up for a party! On Oprah they did a show about scams that I was watching last night- not that I think this is, just reminded me of it. If it is legit. - I'm very impressed.
I would TOTALLY come to a party like that at your house! If I didn't live in NY... But seriously, I think it's a great idea, and it weirds me out a little to actually like something coming from the government to be, which hasn't happened for ages for me. I think that using technology and community organization is a great idea, so yay for Obama. Hopefully it will actually produce some results.

It is legit. Mark and I attended a Unite for Change party after Clinton succeeded the Dem nomination over the summer. They also had a party to watch the debates and for election night.
It's actually really cool. People volunteer to host, list how many people they're willing to invite, then you can choose among several in your area. We met a bunch of cool people that way.
If you'll come, maybe I will host one. Hmmm . . .
Chelle,
I know you would come. Too bad you live in the Big Apple. Well, too bad for me, that is.
Pretty great for you. :)
I'll come and as an added benefit, I'll leave Nate home--because he's always Obama-bashing :)
