One of the main reasons I settled on Barack Obama in the Democratic battle for President came when I realized that the Senator from Illinois had built a masterful organization, outshining the Clinton team. I can't remember when it came to me that this was the way to victory in November, but as any winning coach will tell you: "WE WIN WITH ORGANIZATION!"
In coaching the head man must have his asst coaches, his managers, his players, everyone who touches his team, on the same page. His players must know and believe in what the head coach is selling and if you have the talent that spells success, you will win.
Who ever and wherever this juggernaut of a machine got it's start with Barack Hussein Obama, it has made itself felt throughout each and every state wherein it has arrived. The Obama team has been relentless and brilliant in its moves and it's candidate has been a master taking the ball and running through the right hole and given a sensational talent for his presentation of his politics, has stimulated his followers and independents to boot.
Now, as we enter the last thirty days of the campaign it appears this organization is paying off in state after state. We are hearing of canvassers, telemarketers, voter registration experts, people driving people to vote absentee, students not just talking the talk, but vowing to actually vote this year etc etc etc. THESE OBAMAITES MEAN BUSINESS!
The McCain campaign has featured a series of changes in leadership, whiney back biting, negative blasts from frantic Repubs, taking their orders from a leader many think incapable of
operating without chaos and the same old cliches of yesteryear, "no taxes", "Iraq Forever!", "deregulation is the way", "privatize Social Security", "No socialism on my watch!"
The ultimate in bad judgment occured when the Senator from Arizona selected Sarah Palin for his Vice Presidential runningmate. With some very talented people available out there inlcluding George Romney, an economic wizzard who would certainly have some solid answers on the present crisis in our economy, a likeable and talented former Governor from Arkansas who showed promise for the future, several young and likeable Republicans to stimulate the voters. He chose what has become a major liability to his campaign, an individual who shows total ignorance in a variety of issues, which can and must be mastered by an individual who might be President.
Of course Bush always prided himself in his lack of knowledge and disdain for accumulating information about local, state, and international issues and was recognized by people all over the world for the stiff he is! Thank God, he will no longer be with us come January 20th.
The total disdain McCain showed for Obama in their first debate is a lack of preparation for the big game and when voters all over the US got the opportunity to see these two together, they could immediately recognize Barack gets it and McCain and his Bushie buddies are living in a past which featured some of the worst and lazy governance in American history.
No let up Barack. You have perservered to this moment! You have earned what will be a great victory for America and the world so don't let up, and roar to the finish line with your fine organization delivering the vote before and on election day! Go get em!

I agree. You can tell alot about a person by the way they go about their business and where they lay their associations. Obama has orchestrated a masterful campaign, hopefully indicative of his pending presidency.
