The ground game begins…
It already started (does it ever stop?) but now the presidential campaigns are starting to talk about their GOTV efforts. Barack Obama's campaign talked about Minnesota's importance in the upcoming election (swing state, etc.) during a conference call. They also sent along this document that listed some of their plans.
Meanwhile, John McCain's Minnesota campaign is also using this weekend as a rallying point. They are calling on volunteers to knock on doors and make phone calls on what they are calling Super Saturday. The campaign sent out an e-mail listing 36 opportunities for volunteers to make calls or campaign for McCain. They're also holding 100 McCain house parties throughout Minnesota on Thursday night.
