This week, a number of veteran GOP operatives who orchestrate door-to-door efforts to get voters to the polls were told they should not expect to receive plane tickets, rental cars or hotel rooms from the campaign.

"The desire for parity on television comes at the expense of investment in paid boots on the ground," said one top Republican strategist who has been privy to McCain's plans. "The folks who will oversee the volunteer operation have been told to get out into the field on their own nickel."Source
Hmm...Seems to be a common theme in the waning moments of dying Campaign's this year...

This is actually normal. I guess that you didn't notice the word, "VOLUNTEER". What about that word is it that you don't understand? LOLOLOLOL Talk about whiners.

Pretty much what they will tell the poor and the middle class if they are elected--While Palin, McCain, the rich, and the corporate guys get tax cuts.

Years ago in a very contentious election, a friend of mine said, "Have you ever noticed that all of those people who make over $200,000 year can always tell us how we should be able to live on $15,000 a year?"

WaaaWaaa I guess that you haven't heard the latest from your messiah. He is now trying to let all of you followers down easy by saying to not have high expectations about all of those freebies he has promised all of the deadbeat people.

If you read the article, you'd see the difference between volunteers in the two campaigns. Reading is fundamentalist.
