I was having so much fun with the last thread that I didn’t want to create a new one. But I guess we have an election to win, so, FORWARD! I really got a boost out of reading this excellent article about Obama’s superior ground game. You know, as much as I’d like to win this election by twenty points, a small part of me would like to win it narrowly because our community organizers out-hustled the Republicans. I’m still a community organizer at heart, and I’m like anyone else. I don’t like to be disrespected.
The following paragraph says a lot:
Some Republicans admit that the ground game is a weakness for the party. In Colorado, one top GOP consultant who has worked on presidential campaigns told me he mentally added 2 to 4 points to Obama’s polls in the state based on superior organization. In Florida, GOP Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart said Republicans would win in other ways: “They’re very organized. They’re very, very organized, and you have to admit they’re very organized,” Diaz-Balart said of the Democrats. “However, I think Republicans are very motivated.
The Republicans are very motivated by greed and racism. The Democrats are very organized around making this country a better place.
I can’t wait to see the OFA do its stuff.
