Comparing Volunteer Efforts

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

FiveThirtyEight has a great look at the volunteer efforts in the two campaigns...

When the offices are open, they have reduced hours. We can confidently plan to get evening good-light photographs of a town after we visit the local McCain office, because we know it will be closing by 5 pm, as the office in Wilmington, North Carolina was this past Sunday. The plan is, get to inevitably closed/closing McCain office, get an hour of photos near sunset, then visit the bustling local Obama office.

538 scooped you all. The sad thing is that they have been reporting on McCain's ground game for weeks.
They were first, but where were the rest of you with the follow up?
Journalism is dead. Ok. Not dead, but you have to poke it with a stick a few times before it moves.

In case somebody hasn't yet discovered the significance of what is happening. Here it is. McCain's ground game apears a fraction of the size of Obama's, but that appearance is fake. The truth that has been hidden so effectively by journalistic sloth is far far worse. McCain's ground game is little more than robocalls & empty offices.

Meanwhile people are queuing for hours to vote dem. Blacks are voting & then breaking down into tears beacause they never believed they would live to see the day.

538 has answered the question that everybody has been asking. Polls are good about showing intentions, but what about turnout? The answer is that this time GOP has nether GOTV nor enthusiasm. Obama is not going to get the landslide the polls predict. He is going to get a lot more.
