The Dean GOTV effort seems pretty impressive
Here is a report by NH Dean coordinator Karen Hicks
"Organizing our way to Victory" and it explains pretty well why most people believe Dean has the best organization in the state. If it is close it could make a difference.

There are Dean leaders in every single town and ward in the state. Hicks has done a good job too. She worked for Gov. Jeanne Shaheen in a similar capacity and knows the ins and outs of getting out the vote in NH.

1. Insight on the woman who is making it happen

Karen works close to 24 hours a day, seven days a week to elect Dean. A typical day starts with an 8:30 morning staff meeting, and it does not conclude until between 10 p.m. and midnight. She has 120 fulltime staff working under her, with 13 offices across the state.

Asked why people from Black Mountain should consider Dean for the position of president, Karen saw a number of similarities between the people of New Hampshire and the residents of Western North Carolina.

“Similar to people in New Hampshire, people in the Swannanoa Valley care about healthcare for the family, for their kids, and they care about jobs. Like in New Hampshire, North Carolina has lost a lot of manufacturing jobs,” Karen said.

“People know Howard Dean for being against the Iraq war, but he started his campaign to give health benefits to everyone in the country.”
