Polls and Pions

I've had this discussion before; that it feels like there is a sabotage effect the mainstream Democrat media seems to partake in whenever an outsider, with an actual agenda of change, steps in the ring. This happened to Howard Dean, Kweisi Mfume, Ned Lamont- I can go on. It seems like to run on change you have to do it under the radar like John Hall did. As much as Obama was the media darling months ago he is now being viewed as a shake up of the strict Democrat Party pipeline that has been developed by the major party organizations. With Obama out in the open it is the due diligence of a strong grass roots campaign that has Obama showing strong in poll numbers in key states. You can always read an authors preference by which poll numbers they mention. The one that matters; Key States such as Iowa, NH and SC or the ones that do not matter; The national poll. Every time I read these national polls I just see it as a chide to tell the grassroots organizations to give up. What we need to do is get out the fact that we are running strong where it matters. And that we wont give up. Of course as long as they ignore us we can run this campaign under the radar- where it matters, NH.

100%, YES!

Set your sights on NH primary, likely an early January date. Possibly December.

The message? Keep it real and keep it steady.
