Here are a few snippets from one Obama worker. You can read the whole thing at the link above. Scroll down to comment #25.
"We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a clinton or mccain supporter who just switched our support for obama”
"Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support."
"The operation is massive, the goal is to paint a picture that is that of a winner, regardless of the results.
There is no true inauguration draft or true grant park construction going on. There will be a party, but we are boasting beyond the truth to make it seem like the election is wrapped up.
Our goal is to continue to make you lose your moral. We worked hard at persuasion and paying off and timing and playing the right political numbers to get key republican endorsements to make it seem even more like it was over and the world was coming to an end for you all.
There is a huge staff of people working around the clock, watching every site, blogs, etc. We flood these sites. We have had a goal to overwhelm."
"Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support."
It is all so frustrating on both sides, embarrassing really.
The person who deserves the mantle of power most, desires it the least.
Very true comments in the article. Obama followers don't know how to answer tough questions. Funny to see them get quiet an "hope" and issue will "change" and go away.
Baloney. I were getting paid for posting. As I said when someone accused me of working for ACORN a few weeks ago, I wish I had gotten paid to encourage people to register & vote.
As much as I enjoy posting on City-Data, I don't think the campaign would be spending time on a message board like this. They can spend their time & money much more productively. By the way, most people aren't "on the clock" as you wrote. What I mean is that I was shocked to see how many people are volunteering several hours a week, even 12 hours a day. These are retirees, students and working people on their days off. I've met doctors, nurses and some retired military folks. Nobody gets a dime. They just are eager to share with others their passion for a just government and a country in which we can work together as Americans.
You right wingers are just so mad that Obama has a ground force that just crushes what McCain could possibly have.
His campaign is running smooth, orderly, and organized. Cry it up!
Is that why the polls show McCain leading in the early voting in Florida even though more Dems have voted than Reps?
