47. Correct, excellent point
How can I explain to you 46 yrs of campaign experience?
How can I explain to you US history/labor since 1932?
Have you heard of Camp Wellstone ?
Have you heard of Sidney Hillman ?

Obama started with a guy from facebook, he made a web site, not for social networking, but for political networking. They got 2000 volunteers to take a 3 day political training seminar, those 2k went back home to all 50 states...

That was about 20 months ago.

Studies show, the best way to get the vote out is by
1)Knocking on doors
2)Making phone calls
3)Direct mail

What Obama has started has roots in the Labor rights battles from the turn of the century thru the 1930's, google Sidney Hillman. He combines this with the Meetup.com site idea used by the Dean Campaign in 2003.

Throw in some George Lakeoff, FDR and your on your way.

SO how many states will McCain win... 8 or 9.
