Democrats Have Intensity, but G.O.P. Has Its Machine
By ROBIN TONER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 — Clif Kelley, a retired economist from Columbus, Ohio, is the walking, talking, fuming embodiment of what pollsters say is a defining feature of this election: the intensity of Democrats.

Mr. Kelley and a handful of fellow Democrats in Franklin County’s 21st Ward began meeting about two years ago, calling themselves Grassroots 21. Today they have a newsletter, a blog and on one recent Sunday a sprawling audience crammed into Mr. Kelley’s suburban backyard for a rally on a semi-rainy day.

Mr. Kelley reminded his friends that he vowed two years ago he would not die under a Bush administration. “You can see I’ve been holding on,” he said as the audience roared.

Mr. Kelley is 89. And angry. He says he simply “can’t wait” for Election Day.

1. I'm with Mr. Kelly. Been voting since '55 and

have never felt such determination. If I could make it happen with my bare hands , I would.
