Obama’s Campaign Hits Florida
The real reason I thought Obama beat Clinton in the primaries was due to his organized and energized campaign workers. They got out there and promoted him very well. Of course he didn’t campaign at all in Florida, so up until now, I had only seen it on the news.
Today it’s official that his campaign is up and running around here. Just today:
- A Obama campaign worker came to my door to help me register to vote if I wasn’t already.
- I received a campaign mailer touting how Obama wants to get US off Middle Eastern oil in 10 years (though it didn’t say how he would do it, just that he had a “plan”).
- I received a poster size mailer that showed how McCain was taking money from lobbyists and listed the people in McCain’s campaign that were lobbyists at one time.
Of all 3 I would probably have to say that the first is probably the most effective. If I wasn’t already registered to vote, I could have filled the paper work out that very instant. And to top it off, the Obama campaign would have the name and address of someone who most likely hadn’t decided who they were going to vote for.
I haven’t heard anything from the McCain campaign, and I’m wondering if it has to do with the amount of money each campaign has raised.

Hey I’m thinking of investment but can’t quite decide where. What do you think, Everything’s dropped so far it seems like a good time. I’m considering a number of possibilities: gm, ge, gs, toyota? What’s your take Frugal Jim?
