I thank God that David Axelrod didn't work for Hillary |
|
How about giving up some props for the Obama team? They are tactical geniuses!! I have no doubt they are going out outwit, outlast, and just plain overwhelm McCain. Obama has the best political team I've seen in the past 20 years. I'm so glad they're working for the 'good' side. ;)

13. If she'd had Axelrod instead of Mark Penn she might've won. |
|
And she has no class at all; if she did she'd have conceded already.

27. Don't forget Obama campaign comm. director Robert Gibbs , the Dem Destroyer. |
|
"Dean morphs into Osama." Nothing ugly about that, nope, not at all. Jus' politics, yep, that's right. Because it isn't how you play the game, it's whether you win or lose.
I bet Hillary still continues to support and promote epilepsy research organizations to help Axelrod's daughter.

Axelrod & Plouffe. And don't forget Gibbs, who has been ever gracious to that smarmy Scarborough.
And to all of the local volunteers. I really remember a young lady who came down to our village from Chicago to provide childcare at the caucuses so people could participate. She was smart and enthusiastic. Our local organizer was great! Only an e-mail or phone call away. These people are always responsive.

5. It was the "google gang" of young |
|
net savvy entrepreneurs like the guy who started Facebook who really made this possible beyond Axelrod - and of course, Obama himself.

Because the Republicans think this is a knife fight.

|
...like Wolfson or McAwful. LOL
Obama's team are great people, role models for the rest of us. I particularly LOVE Caroline Kennedy!
Thank you all who are on Obama's team. We love you and admire you.

16. How in the HELL are you going to get a black guy a nomination??? |
|
run an almost perfect campaign
they went and found every single delegate that they could AND they built and effectively used a volunteer base unlike anyone ever has. They got 10% contributions from supporters--no one has ever come CLOSE to 10% before. AND they never went negative.

31. My bigot friends are STILL stunned. They would grin every time I said Obama could win. |
|
"Silly girl," I'm sure they thought. I'm white, over 50, career woman. I didn't realize how bigoted my friends were. Until now. They are s-t-u-n-n-e-d that Obama won.
But then, they didn't realize give Obama the time of day. They just knew him as a darkish face. You sort of have to experience him to realize how extraordinary he is, and what a great natural leader he is.
Ba-da-bing! He won!

17. Yeppers. Axelrod and Plouffe and all of them together are amazing... |
|
..I've been admiring that campaign for a couple of months now. They ran circles around Hillary. I hope they do the same with Grandpa McSame.

26. You are right. Watching McCain lately, his best strategy is to copy Obama.. |
|
And doing so McCain has been falling on his face.
Yup, Axelrod and crew have been great for obama.

32. The campaign was AWESOME! Props to Axelrod and the whole team. |
|
I worked for the 1992 clinton campaign and again this year for Obama. This campaign was SO much more organized and focused - it was night and day. They did an excellent job.
