When two came to my door I tried to correct their thinking. I told them I looked at a candidate's record and Obama’s record did not match his campaign rhetoric - that I didn't trust the man. No-one came back. I suspect they visited every house in the town/county, and I believe they swayed a bunch of voters. And, this being a college town, they sent several car loads of young campaigners up to the Norfolk area on weekends to support Obama offices there.I mean, this was very well organized = like out of a "how to" textbook.
Obama’s team ran a very effective grassroots voter registration and turnout program.
We, the Republicans might well go to school on how they did it.
We have got to “win on the issues” to counter them, otherwise it’s just a popularity contest-reason and reality will catch up with them..I hope.
