The polls all along showed that (5.00 / 5) (#169)

more Clinton supporters would switch to McCain than Obama supporters would, so I don't think this line of reasoning holds water.

As for young people needed to volunteer, blah blah -- this is only valid if 100% of younger people voted for Obama in the primaries.  They didn't.  

It is also historically inaccurate, as a great deal of the rank-and-file campaign work has always been carried out in large part by -- wait for it -- middle-aged women.  Oops!

You don't need millions of volunteers to run a solid ground game, just 1000s.  You just need enough.

Who the heck do you think was volunteering for Clinton for the 17-month campaign season?  That brought her within a hair's worth of winning the primary?  Martians who've reboarded their spaceships and returned to the Red Planet?

Oh no, don't feed the grassy knoller (5.00 / 1) (#174)

here who so loves "secret plans."  If I read elsewhere about the UFO full of Clinton supporters, I'll know whom to blame, Valhalla. :-)
