Getting in touch with blue collar Americans

I think an easy way for Obama to gain the support of blue collar workers would be to recruit Mike Rowe. Over the past few years he has gained the respect of the working class with his show "Dirty Jobs". Having him travel with Obama, in a manner analogous to Chuck Norris with Mike Huckabee, could be a big boost to his campaign

Union Support

While labor unions have historically supported Democrats, not all union members are inclined to vote as such. The strong conservative values of many of these people decide who they choose at the polls.
We must stand united. The message must be clear that to vote Democrat is to vote union...vote Obama/Biden. The labor movement has suffered greatly in the "Bush Era".

Reach the middle class

The campaign has done poorly explaining its message to the middle class. The presentation seems elitist. Get some real articulate blue collars to advise on the way to reach the voters that Clinton has done so well supporting her. McCain isn't their kind of guy but we will lose them if we don't change the approach. Blue collars don't bowl in a white shirt and tie.

Rural Issues, Rural Voters

Take off the tie and get out of the city. Obama does well in urban centers- we all know this. He can win the rural vote in places like Iowa, North Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho. Now, introduce yourself to rural middle America. Obama only won 1 county in Missouri. It's also a fact that when people get to know him, they like him and when they like him, they vote for him.
