Obama Campaign Amassing Troops in Florida.
Tampa Bay Online/The Tampa Tribune ^ | February 19, 2012 | William March

While the Republican presidential candidates have been battling in Florida and other state primaries, President Barack Obama's re-election campaign has been quietly putting together what aides say will be the biggest grass-roots campaign organization in Florida history.

Obama campaign staff members won't give out numbers about their organizing effort — how many paid staff and volunteers, or of the "neighborhood team captains" they say are the linchpin of the effort.

Obama, she said, "is a community organizer at heart. Our neighborhood team model is based on people organizing in their neighborhoods."

Despite the campaign's reluctance to provide numbers, it's clear something significant is happening. Obama campaign staff members won't give out numbers about their organizing effort — how many paid staff and volunteers, or of the "neighborhood team captains" they say are the linchpin of the effort.

But the campaign has 11 other offices in the state, more than any Republican campaign had at the height of the GOP primary season in late January, and will soon open more.

I fully expect claims of "We Was Robbed", worse than in 2000 with AlGore....

Hanging chads will be NOTHING compared to the race riots that will be incited with claims of "blacks dis-enfranchised", challenged counts, etc., etc.

Once again in FL, it will come down to Fraud/Cheating/Lawsuits in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, as always, where the planted cheats and Lawyers are massing. In fact, look for Cleveland, OH, along with Toledo, Cinci, and Columbus, to be epic Fraud Centers, where The Messiah needs to win the Swing State, and is lagging overall (but getting 90%+ support from the tribal inner-city areas).

I believe you are absolutely correct - and I try not to think about it, though that’s not really the solution, either... sometimes, when I get discouraged, I just think there is no way the republican candidate, whomever it turns out to be, will be allowed to win this election. Sometimes...

We HAVE to flip Florida and Ohio to defeat Baraq in 2012.

(I’ve already taken care of Indiana.)

It is very difficult to reason with the dead voters and the virtual voters are even more problematic.

I did search those terms, and read briefly through a couple articles - in one, they seemed benign and really community organizing at a very organic level, with groups getting their funds from the government - stuff like painting schools, cleaning streets, clearing trees... I am probably not astute enough, but didn’t see a lot wrong about those groups... but it was not an indepth article either..

the other article was calling them terrorists and purely politically motivated, and enabled chavez to maintain power...

I also read a large group of exiles in South Miami vote in Venezuelan elections, the nexus organized by the bolivarian circles here... there are a lot of parallels, though, to Obama, which is what I am sure you were pointing out...thx
