You can discount O4P by calling them "a loose confederation of volunteers" if you like, but you're just whistling past the graveyard.
For instance, there's an O4P chapter in every county in Iowa. All 99 of them - and they are very well coordinated. Perhaps because you're not tuned into what Palin's volunteers are doing across the country, it's easy to dismiss what they're doing.
Fact is, Palin's got her campaign infrastructure pre-built, and ready to spring into action upon notice from her. I'll tell you another thing....on the day that she announces, O4P is going to be swamped with donations and new volunteers. Trust me, it's going to take everyone by surprise.
Not everybody...
