Barack Obama's 50 state strategy!

[Tim4319]

Steve Hildebrand, Barack's deputy campaign manager, sent an email out stating their strategy for the road to the White House. He also stated that they are hoping to get 30,000 new contributors to donate $25.00 each.

This campaign strategy has been a good one! They are making the average American feel like they are part of the march to the White House. Unlike other campaigns that have $1,000 plate dinners, private fund raisers held at mansions, or politicians accepting huge donations. Barack, and his team, has run a very smart campaign.

A key component of Obama's 50-state strategy is increased turnout among African Americans and young people. Obama's "Vote for Change," a national voter registration and mobilization drive, hopes to register millions of new voters.

The co-chairs include Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Rev. Joseph Lowery, Usher and Kerry Washington.

1. 50 state campaign for only DLC like candidates will win

pubic office.

2. It makes perfect sense

just like 50+ state primaries and caucuses which enabled Obama to have staff and offices ready on day one in all 50 states for the General Election. This is our year!

3. Obama's tapping into the 50 state strategy built by DNC the last 4 years. We are fortunate

as a party to have turned our backs on the failing strategy of past DNC's who sat on their hands and allowed the collapse of too many state party infrastructures making it impossible for a Dem nominee to tap into anything even resembling a functioning political infrastructure. Infrastructure can't be built by a nominee in the 5 months they have to campaign nationally. It is built by responsible stewardship of the Dem party for four years before....


Salute to Chairman Dean and all Democrats aligned with his leadership who rejected the Clinton-McAuliffe strategy that abandoned too many states.

4. As much as I want money out of politics...

It's nice having the financial edge for once. Obama can afford operations in all 50 states, and make McCain play defense on his home turf.

5. good stuff!
