Obama Across America: Seeing the Big Picture
techPresident —
With the election 20 days away, both major presidential campaigns are focusing more of their energies on the "ground game" of galvanizing their volunteer base and getting out the vote. Both campaigns' websites make it easy for supporters to search for upcoming events near them (Obama's Events page is here; McCain's is both on his home page and here), but the other night while playing around with both sites' tools, I discovered that Obama's campaign will also allow you to export the resulting list as a structured data file, which for the geeks in the audience is like manna from heaven. In particular, you can get a KML file, which is short for ...

It doesn't hurt either that US ...
Stephen C. Rose: Barack Obama's End Game Will Be On The Ground

If Barack Obama becomes president, it will be because of grass roots organization. The people who will make the difference on November 4 are the paid and volunteer organizers of the Obama-Biden campaign. Their secret lies in a simple principle:
You organize not by getting adherents, but by finding ever more organizers, proven people who can canvass, call, plan and execute events, get voters to the polls on election day.
It is for this reason that, from region to region, the number of Obama events at the micro level (say in a county in a battle ground state) will dwarf the McCain events. The media may talk about ...
