Obama ground game in NC? Wow. Just wow.

[mnhtnbb]

Check out this e-mail I just received from OFA:

"In Chapel Hill, 2,385 supporters have already pitched in 40,179 hours for this campaign, and a whole lot of them are volunteering again over the next few days to get out the vote in their neighborhoods."



If you're on their e-mail list, add the content of the message you received!


Are we fired up in Chapel Hill? YES!


Turn NC Blue!


TO date: 321,985 MORE DEM votes than Repubs have been cast in NC

1. Yay!

[oswaldactedalone]

2. If you're in NC

or Tennessee or S. Carolina please help us in NC this weekend with our GOTV efforts. Early voting ends Saturday so the weekend, and Mon./Tues. focus is on getting our people to the polls on the 6th. Canvassing is easy at this point as there's no persuasion attempts going on, it's just making contact and encouraging them to vote.

3. +++++++

[blm]

25. And donate to Mecklenburg County Dem Party for GOTV - NC Dems needs huge turnout there

to pull off a win for Obama, Dalton and incredibly crucial congressional and judges down ticket, too.

Donate a tank of gas (or even a gallon of gas) to MCDP's GOTV efforts.

7. Where are the rest of our NC DU folks? Please, add whatever e-mail message you've received

so we can see how the volunteer hours are adding up across the state.

8. The Blue people here are TRUE BLUE!!!!!

I know NC is supposedly a red state but the people who are blue are BLUE ALL THE WAY and they fight HARD.. My husband & I are working with a wonderful group of people

12. The Blue people here are TRUE BLUE!!!!!

Carolina Blue!

NC is a strange skizoid state sometimes. It is not like the deep South, and not like VA either. But, I feel we don't step up to the plate always. I think people will vote for candidates just because they are already there and in office, so we get Jessie Helms over and over. But we also get a Senator Sam sometimes. It's like people here are wary of change, but when they've had enough.....

And NC is important. Y'know Bank of America, instrumental in our financial crisis, is here. Indeed its feud with Wachovia (now Wells Fargo) was a big factor in it. So I hope with more people looking at and to NC, it will step up to the plate this time.

14. NC

Good luck NC. We in Florida are also fighting hard and I am now more optimistic of victory here.

[calimary]

22. Welcome to DU, rso!

Glad to have you here - we need you to keep up the fight, and help us keep up the fight too. This thing isn't won yet.







Now get to work.

[karmaqueen]

31. Thanks for the good wishes rso!

Good luck to you too and welcome to DU

20. There are some very progressive pockets of NC

Chapel Hill, Asheville, to name 2...
and good, progressive people.

NC is going to stay BLUE!!

[Surya Gayatri]

9. GO TARHEELS!!! We're all rooting for you.

[NorthCarolina]

11. I will say that early voting here in Charlotte seems off the wall....

I have never seen such a high level of activity at our early voting location as I have this election. It has had lines out the door since day 1 that persist until closing time. If Democrats garner the majority of early votes then I have no doubt that Obama will carry NC. Walter Dalton may squeak in on Obama's coattails....I hope, I hope, I hope.

[mnhtnbb]

23. I hope for coattails, too!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

13. Love it! nt

[barbtries]

16. we can do it

we can, we can!!

[barbtries]

17. i volunteered in Durham

but no email

i've been monitoring the polls at Chavis Park in Raleigh though - the Obama campaign is very present at the polls there, all day every day (i'm working so only get there on the weekend).

[ffr]

18. Yup. That's what I saw yesterday.

27. nc moved to over preform

this shows that we will have half of the 800,000 Democrats voted by the end of early voting,this is tremendous advantage,going into nov 6 ,just so i clarify, a point we have an 800,000 lead in voter registered to vote.its hard for me to believe people,claim we will lose,we are winning big.they will not beat us on nov 6 tally neither.you can donated here http://www.mecklenburgdemocrat.org/

19. It may be good but it's not perfect. I am a registered Democrat, have donated to my

county's Democratic Party and have received nothing from them, not even a reminder-to-vote phone call.

[nolabear]

21. Hubby's an NC boy and I lived in Durham for years. Carolina Blue has a whole new meaning!

[mnhtnbb]

24. +

[mnhtnbb]

26. Kicking for the afternoon crowd--and an appreciation of Obama volunteers.

[Kteachums]

28. Go NC!!! I wish I was living there anywhere but, this Red State I live in.

[ncgrits]

29. Awwww thanks. NC really IS a great place to live. nt

[freshwest]

30. 321,985 MORE DEM! That is beautiful news!

[LisaL]

33. That's good, but they still need to come out strong on election day.

Supposedly that's when republicans come out to vote in mass.

[freshwest]

34. Thanks, didn't know about that there. So GOTV!

[LisaL]

35. If they didn't come out on election day, we'd have a large lead in NC.

Which we don't-most polls say it's a complete toss up.

[jsmirman]

32. And in VA, Richmond was FIRED UP yesterday

and I'm gonna see them again later today...
