Great article on Obama's ground game and how no matter what polls say early voting will probably win Obama this election.

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/10/obamas-edge-the-ground-game-that-could-put-him-over-the-top/264031/

 


No offense but...

it's the Atlantic... they're going to try and spin things Obama's way, unless they're talking about how Obama is too conservative.

 

They say a good ground game can move things by 2% points... based on... really nothing, and despite the fact that the results were actually right on compaired with polling.  This is the kind of thing that should show up in polling anyway.

 

Democrats ALWAYS have a large early voter advantage.  That's just how natural voting goes.

 

Democrats tend to vote early (and often) then Republicans tend to mostly vote in the morning, then in the evening, more Democrats vote.

 

Also, the problem with targeting "undecided" voters is well... people kinda hate politicians now.  Being invasive on their personal space isn't what i'd really call a good idea.

It's like how the negative political "zingers" have all seemed to greatly turn off voters at this point.   Undecided people are kind of sick of games.

Based on your resonse I doubt you read the article. I also agree with Spaceguy that you bleed red out your pores and try to pretend you are not Rebublican. Any source you do not like you try to discredit it when it actually has a lot of great insight, and becausese of that I put little value in you analysis on the validity of a source. You are so biased and try to pretend not to be. You should just admit you are a republican.

Based on my response that specifically mentioned stuff in the article you doubt I read the article.

Interesting.

I'm just someone who's generally mindful of the source, takes everything skeptically and note when arguements don't really jive with reality.

Obama will win the election.

Though due to the electoral college.

Nothing this article states is relevent... as it's all stuff that would already show up in the polls.

Some democratic staffer things the pollster's are wrong on likely voters... so do republican staffers, thinking they overestimate numbers based on 08.
