The Plan: Iowa

8:29 am EST August 27th, 2008 | News | 1 Comment

Some interesting data on Obama’s on the ground game in rural America like Iowa and Wisconsin. My sense is that this is far more important, as I’m sure the Clinton campaign can testify to, than John McCain getting the cable news pundit circuit to declare that you’ve “won” the week.

    Thanks for the link. I think cutting into McCain’s margins in the traditionally Republican strongholds will be as important for Obama as registering new voters in the heavily Democratic areas.

    I knew McCain was being massively out-organized in Iowa, because he bypassed this state’s caucuses and has few enthusiastic supporters in the Iowa GOP base. However, I had no concept of how far behind McCain really was in terms of the ground game until I started looking at states like Wisconsin, Ohio and Virginia, where Obama has five or six times as many field offices.
