>>>”This is nothing out of the ordinary.”

Typically, the presidential candidate has his own national/state/local organization, and his own floating operatives. His own GOTV, polling, media, etc.

There’s considerable inter-mingling of people (state GOP chair could be state pres. campaign chair, etc) and money can be allocated from one to the other based on various factors.

But the presidential campaign is a separate organization responsible for organizing and running the campaign in all states - emphasizing the states they judge most important (which can vary during the campaign.)

It’s worth noting that Romney’s GOTV effort - ORCA - was a notorious failure and bears much responsibility for his loss.

They are so uncooperative we have had to open a second HQ.

They are stuck in the old ways of giving out signs and bumper stickers...no help with registrations or absentee ballot requests. Just little meetings and shirt and jewelry sales to benefit their other clubs...

Complaining about him and staff all the time!

I bet there are other cities like that too.

McCain foolishly opted into the public financing system during the general election, Obama didn’t.

Exactly, the same paper that barely recognized the genocide of the Jewish people in Europe.

They haven’t changed much, have they.

I don’t believe a frigging word from the New York Times.
