David Plouffe, the celebrated manager of the successful Obama campaign in 2008, recorded a video message to urge members of Organizing for America to work hard to boost turnout and prove the pundits predicting destruction for the party Nov. 2 wrong.
In the video, Plouffe uses Pennsylvania as a case study for OFA's efforts, disclosing that the organization has 48 staff on the ground now to help volunteers, and planst to have 90 staffers here by Election Day. In addition, OFA will have 18 field offices around the state, up from 10.
"The activity in Pennsylvania is going to be absolutely crucial," Plouffe says.
More broadly, Plouffe points out that some of the 70 or so competitive House race will come down to a handful of votes, and OFA volunteers will be crucial in closing the "enthusiasm gap" that is increasing projections of Republican turnout.
Better not come knocking at my door. Patrick Murphy and the liberal Dems have been in charge of Congress since 2006 which is the same time spending went out of control and the economy went into the tank. If you love this country you will vote Republican whether you agree with them or not. Obama is the worst president this country has ever had to endure.— ResponsibleAmerican
