In 2010 many were demoralized by the hate mongering. Some who had family members without papers were nervous about voting lest it bring attention to them. It was duck & cover for too many & they did not vote. GOTV efforts will be very important & must be more focused & effective this time.<br /><br />Also we need to spend some energy on our decent Republicans (there are some!) who are disgusted with the GOP & very unhappy with where their party stands now. I've had dialogue with a few & I think they could go Dem. I'll take every vote I can get!<br /><br />Aquagranny911Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-53489573570272295112012-04-18T12:57:49.956-05:002012-04-18T12:57:49.956-05:00I agree also.

There are field offices all over Chicago, which is about as "safe" an Obama stronghold as you'll find. Granted, a lot of the work, as it was in 2008, will be about getting people out to canvass in states like WI, Iowa, MI, etc. -- but building leadership and visibility in all 50 states is indeed a good thing, particularly in states with robust combinations of young and Latino voters and activists.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080562143570264504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-67627921152103061472012-04-18T09:14:48.433-05:002012-04-18T09:14:48.433-05:00I agree.

Too many people are fed up. PBO will have the Latino & Native votes, young people, a lot of women & the elders who aren't completely gaga.<br /><br />A lot is made of the Mormon vote here & it is a big bloc but even some Mormons don't like the Mittster. They will either stay home or vote for Obama. That's what I've been told by a few.<br /><br />We've got a strong ground game here & I say that Arizona is definitely in play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-88996326903845454642012-04-17T11:10:06.733-05:002012-04-17T11:10:06.733-05:00ebogan63 here.
