the difficulties(and I apologize for anything that might demean the party efforts) I simply wish we could get things into every hand and support for every voter underneath a system overtly hostile to their rights to anything. A huge mailing across the nation or in regions according to need like a voter's guide, handbook, checklist. Obama is running a great campaign. I have been wrong in everything I would wish to be wrong and humbled by professionals doing their job. That is how it is supposed to be, must be, and Obama continues to amaze.
As a phone banker you get a list of registered voters. There are always people who have died, moved or the landline phone number simply does not work. The GOP see this as an opportunity to cage people while we try to make the system work getting at a percentage of people hopefully at a good time with just the right message. We juggle a load of bricks up to the wall we would build and the GOP merely tries to stick their foot out.
My main dismay(s) having nothing to do with the Obama campaign at all except that it is just part of the good guys' general weakness and the party's general mistakes. No one can take the rap for all that, neither Kerry, Clinton or anyone. If I had really good ideas that hadn't been thought before I wouldn't be pontificating here or rehashing the usual frustrations.
Multiple apologies. I think we are winning and fighting much more than last time. The GOP has denied us extreme confidence. That too works against them. They don't get the win/win crooked strategy this year. Next week I vanish into the phone banks for Eric Massa as much as possible and ocasionally post about his race. His stands and methods are very much like Obama's. We are doing things a lot better with a lot more funding and support and experience. The cheat factor will not beat that.
