It's the ground game stupid

Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 08:43 AM by aaroh

Obama is out-playing McCain on the ground game. Obama has a general advantage of 3 field offices for every one McCain field office.

As this chart shows Obama is crushing McCain in most states except for Florida. The chart is also a good indicator of which states the campaign has conceded defeat to the opposition (most of the bottom half states).

But, in the case of Maine, it's way off. We have 17 campaign offices here, not 6.

2. Yes, but the GOP is purging Dems from the voter rolls by the thousands every day

The ground game doesn't match up to 21st-century electronic fascism. Be prepared for blood to be spilt on election day.

4. McCain owns the air with media totally on his side. We can beat him on the ground and the internets
