GOP Campaign Official: Obama's Ground Game So Much Better "It's Scary"

ABC News:

When your adversaries are praising you, you must be doing something right.

Listen to this from one top Republican campaign official who says Barack Obama's ground game is unlike anything we've ever seen before:

"This is the greatest ground game they've ever put together," he told ABC News on the condition of anonymity. "It's scary."

He said Obama holds a considerable ground game advantage over McCain and suggests the Democratic nominee has hundreds of paid staffers in each state.

WHAT EVER YOU DO OBAMA SUPPORTERS. Do not become complacent!!!

It's clear the US Government intentions are not all about fighting "terrorism", some of it is about the suppression of it's citizens.

People please be aware that the current Administration does not care what Palin does - they want her in the white house as their mouth piece and "robot."

I said that to say this: McCain is ill - he knows it and so do "they".

The idea was and is to use McCain to get Palin in the white house - she is a puppet - she will play Rovian agenda - politics very well. She doesn't t care, as long as she can be glorified she'll be happy. WE WILL NOT!!!

The Bush administration has and wants to create "racial tensions between American to prevent us from joining together to restore constitutional order.

Hence, Palin the hate-speech, etc. That really did not work to well for them. So now the game is back on and they will try other "stuff."

But believe me folks the game is not over yet. They will still try and get Palin in the white house, even as we see McCain fall apart.

All this talk about Obama in the lead - that's all good if it's really true.

They want us to become complacent.

Think and ANALYZE IT.

We're not complacent. Do you really think we've come this far and now we're just going to quit?

Come on...

[BabsfromKansas]

not complacent - just crowing...­LANDSLIDE

That's how I know I voted for the right man for president, Barack Obama. Any man that has the vision, , the charisma, and the skills to put together what he had done is the man to lead this country out of the hole the republican flub-a-dubs have put us in.

It's time to throw the amatuers out and bring in the real pro's...

OBAMA is all around better than McCain, not just his "ground game". Even if McCain were 30 years younger, Obama is still the better candidate for President. Education trumps belligerence; point blank.

I mean lets face it, politicians are politicians and all of them make questionable decisions. Obama is the more rational politician. I'll take a rational politician over an irrational, spoiled and terribly aggravated one, any day. And I don't care if he's Republican, Democrat or a Purple Martian.

I thought McCain said there's NOTHING to be scared about Barack...

Yea, his ground game is better...i­t's almost like the people really DO want change, huh?

GOP dumbasses.

If all the polls are right.(Oh, How I wish + Pray that they ARE, it will be as if the GOP are fighting their enemies (The DEMOCRATS) with pitchforks against the democrats using modernday weapons to get their supporters engaged, excited and INVOLVED in this most crucial of all elections.­.I fervently hope that the GOP -as presently constituted- will find themselves in the political deserts for at least the next 40 years..Per­haps, by that time, the damages of George Bush's 8 yrs of ideologically driven policies entrusted to the neocons (under Dick Cheney's leadership) may have faded away...OU rrfriends abroad have been -almost to a man- totally flabbergasted that a man of obvious intellectual lmitations such as "Dubbya" couuld have made into the Oval Office, and then be RE ELECTED...­..Explanat­ions of Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 resulted in glassy eyed disbelief that the cradle of Democracy could have been so manipulate­d...Gen. Colin Powell could not have said it any better. HIs interview should be rebroadcast on a daily basis, maybe repeated listenings to his words could penetrate th GOP's "base"thic­kheadednes­s, and actually begin to have truth.fact­s penetrate the willful ignorance that will not allow them to think for themselves.

YAY! I voted today! Straight Dem ticket!

The G.O.P (G.reedy O.ld P.eckers) need to go!

[Zhonni]

Congrats!

[Shadow08]

Same here, I've been voting a straight Democratic ticket all my life, but this election was the most important. The republicans can't be trusted with power. They prove they abuse it, over and over.

[iluvsam]

We haven't won yet guys. To tell you the truth, Gov. Rendell's statement that he's nervous that Pennsylvania could go Republican makes me nervous. We can't let up.

Also, I don't like the fact that the McCain/Palin ticket gets 30 minutes with Brian Williams. Where the hell is the OBama/Biden interview?

[ifonlyuknew]

don't fret Obama has 30 min network airtime right before the election. Obama has basically most of the airtime from now to the end. mccain can not compete with that either. just vote...got­v vote early if you can 13 more days obama/biden 08

[grata2ude]

I live in Pa. Going to a Dem rally tomorrow night. I'm hoping to get some better insight into the Pa. race, but I think its going Obama, Close but a win.

[dadele]

We have had enough, that is all. Things can't get much worse for most of us and for our country, so we are taking our country back. Everyone has a few hours and a few dollars to help save the country for our children. I think the republicans have underestimated our rage.

[lejman]

ground game? how bout the cyberspace game? welcome to century 21.

[ifonlyuknew]

Barack Obama has become the first presidential candidate to embed a political ad in a video game. New technology via the Internet allows ads to pop up on billboards and other signage within games to get the player's attention. The Obama campaign is running ads in 18 video games, targeting 10 states that allow early voting.

The game company says the ads target men between the ages of 18 and 34. It's unclear how much the ads cost the Obama campaign.


obama/biden o8 vote early if you can

Any blogger or poster on this site could be governor of Alaska.

Thanks but no Thanks ;-D

I love living in Fake America!

Obama folks don't let up. Don't give in to overconfidence. We still have a week and a half to go and you still have to vote. Just make sure people get to the polls. You can be sure the GOP will be carting the nursing home folks into vote. And if we're too confident some people might stay home thinking he doesn't need our vote. Remember Melanie (I think) from American Idol who lead all the way then lost the second to the last time? People thought someone else was going to vote for her so it was OK for them not to vote --what happened she lost!. Don't do that again. Every vote is important --when he wins we want him to win BIG. No Bush/Gore stuff--we want a Nixon sweep. Let AZ be the one to support him. Funny I saw in the paper that Obmama had close to 100,000 at St. Louis and McCain had close to 2000 in some other small Missouri town. I wonder if his followers have given up? After this campaign can you believe that any GOP would suggest Palin would be on the ticket for 212? Doesn't she have to face an ethics investigation and her own legislators when she gets back to Alaska? Wouldn't it be fun if she's removed from office!!!

[jeffp26]

Our ground game is awesome for two reasons:

First, Obama's people are hard working and super intelligent. I mean so smart the GOP doesn't have anyone capable of understanding how they think.

And second, we, the people, are, to put it mildly and politely, irritated at what the Bush led GOP has done to our country, our planet, and our future. We are sick and tired, and we want our country back, now.

not bad for a "community organizer" right sarah???..­..

DITTO. Ignorance is bliss.

David Axelrod is a genius. He deserves to be hoisted upon the shoulders of all democrats and have 3 cheers of HIP HIP HORRAY! chanted to him, followed by a round of Jolly Good Fellow. Ive been studying presidential campaigns for many years now and I can honestly say Axelrod has run the most efficent, organized and well-mannered campaign Ive ever seen. I hope Obama keeps him close by if elected.Ax­elrod would make a good Karl Rove.
