Team Romney & the GOP have made over 5 million volunteer voter contacts this week. Enormous effort on the ground (including 2.4 million volunteer voter contacts yesterday on Super Saturday by 30k volunteers).....Enthusiasm is on our side............

FL made over 1 million volunteer voter contacts this week...VA 500k...OH 600k...NC 500k...CO 250k...WI 400k...NV 250k...NH 125k

Any comparison numbers from Obama’s camp?

If so, we have GOT to use his secrets forever in the future because this is a critical and growing component to any successful national election.

2008 was just unacceptable...no doubt due in part to a lack of interest from volunteers...but completely unacceptable.

From reports it sounds like there will be more ads as we get closer.....already have ramped that up bigtime. But, a big part of the money is going to GOTV....it’s about time we realize how important that is. The Romney campaign may end up being a good RNC case study for what to do.

Yes, the economy is still pretty poor (doing great here in West Texas thanks to oil...but for everyone else not so much).

And many people say how can this race be close.

But, you have to realize how POLARIZED this nation is right now. It is because of this that Obama is doing so well. If we were not so polarized, Romney would have a much easier time. It’s not that Americans have necessary agreed with liberalism.

It’s that so many are so hardline on both sides that it really keeps the polls tight. Those undecideds are pretty much what we must win, and thankfully our lead with them appears to be growing.
