Obama Camp Hopes To Organize Thousands Of "Unity" Events Nationwide

It's a bit odd that this passed unnoticed, but Obama's national field director, Jon Carson, blasted out an email to supporters last night letting them know that the campaign is trying to organize some 3,000 so-called "unity events" across the country on Saturday.
The idea, it seems, is to capitalize on the attention that Friday's event with Hillary and Obama in Unity, New Hampshire, will get -- and to get non-Obama supporters to pair up with Obama supporters at house parties and the like.
It's impossible to know what kind of success this will have, but it's the sort of under-the-table organizing the Obama team did to great and surprising effect during the primaries. Details
