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.

I guess a community organizer is kinda like a small town mayor except you get ACTUAL results....

Don't get complacent. Keep working on getting the vote out and please vote early. It's harder to corrupt.
Rolling Stone came out with this today. Mandatory reading per Rachel Maddow, re: Voter supression and the RNC stealing your vote and what you can do.

http://www.rollingstone.com/ There is a short video embedded in the article. then go to

http://www.steelbackyourvote.org/ They accept donations but you can also download for free. Just scroll down a bit.
Pass it on. Everyone needs to be educated on how to protect yourself and your vote.

Republicans can blame their losses on the ground game if they want but telling the truth once in while might help as well. Unfortunately telling the truth is a socialist thingy I betcha by gosh gee whiz.

Yes, and our winning formula for the ground game is that we won't let up until the announcement that tells us we have helped elect Barack Obama President of the United States.

When I hear GOP comments like "Obama's ground game is so much better it's scary," I worry that it's a manipulation to have us stop and rest on our laurels a little bit instead of keeping up the good work until election day is over.

What a remarkable demonstration of community organizing.

OBAMA - BIDEN 2008 !!!

The question is how do we keep the ground game rolling once Obama is elected? That is key...

You get in where you fit in. Everybody rolls up their sleeve and execute the directives we are given. We are a team. It's nation time! As Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

I on board that express. Choo-choo!

Obama's ground game is outstanding because he worked as a Community Organizer! I have also worked as a CO and it is demanding. To think, the GOP were mocking him during the convention!

It's all about grass roots organization. The movement is about the people.
