Obama\'s Iowa ground game
Chicago Tribune
If you're wondering where all of the candidates are spending the $150 million they've raised so far, a lot of it is going into operations like this. A couple highlights: [*] 31 state-wide field offices, each of which he needs to pay rent for.[*] Tracking each known supporter and calling each of them every three weeks.[*] Conducting a dry-run for caucus night in December by turning out all of the supporters for house parties.[*] (Probably) putting a campaign worker at every precinct to hand out banners and organize. |

Iron, my mother just applied to work for Obama. I'll let you know if she gets the job (As a result, we aren't on speaking terms anymore [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

Re: Obama\'s Iowa ground game
I'm sure there has been some discussion on these boards about how to fix the system that has NH, Iowa, etc. as the most important states getting all the attention.
Can anyone link me to it? |
