getting people to the polls

It may be risky in terms of the "buying the vote" criticism but who cares. I say, publicize early and often (billboards by public transportation would reach the most of the needy audience), all of the help Obama volunteers can give voters on election day. From childcare, to rides, to legal representation for employees who's employers refuse to let them leave to vote.

Let Obama campaign for himself--door to door

Have door-to-door volunteers bring clips of Obama's speeches to show potential voters (either via ipod or laptop) in addition to having those volunteers be able to talk about the specifics of what Obama plans to do as president and how he plans to do it.

Do Voter Registration Drives At Every Walmart In America!

I know that in GA there is a big push within the Obama campaign for voter registration, and I'm assuming that this is the case most places in America.

Breakdown Ohio for an easy victory

If you take the 88 counties in Ohio. Divide each county into 4 quadrants, assign 20 volunteers to focus on nothing but their quadrant - including recruiting more volunteers and GOTV efforts. You would only need 7,040 Obama supporters. In the great big state of Ohio there ALOT more supporters than that for sure.

Our call system design turns out opponents voters: 2-Calls vs 1-Call

We need to go to a 2-call GOTV system vs the current 1-Call system. When I called CA, NC and IN I kept activating Clinton voters within a few days of the election. We should call at least 2 weeks BEFORE THE ELECTION and ID our voters and undecideds. Then 3-4 days before the election, call our voters back and get them to the polls. We have plenty of volunteers.
