Obama: 100 McCain: 1

Good morning: Wow! The campaign's are really serious about PA! Obama will be in Chester, PA, about an hour south of Doylestown, at noon today. And McCain-Palin will be in nearby Quakertown at 12:15pm. The weather here is miserable, so it is will be interesting to see what kind of turnout each candidate draws.
Several people have asked how the McCain ground game compares to Obama's activities in Bucks County. Here is a little insight. The Obama office is averaging about 50 walk-in volunteers a day during the week and 200-300 over the weekend. This is in addition to the 6-7 paid staffers and the 6-7 full time volunteers that are in the office every day.
So how does this compare with McCain?
Well, one of our people went over to the McCain campaign office in Warminster last week to get tickets for today's McCain-Palin rally. What he found was very revealing. First of all, the office is in a basement that is only accessible from the rear of the building, which is kind of depressing. Second, when our person visited the office, he found 2 paid staffers and 2 volunteers in the office. FOUR people. That was it! In addition, so far we have seen no evidence of any canvassing by McCain people in our area or 'turf', as Obama-ites refer to their area. And no local phone banking that we know of. (It all appears to be remote.)
A numerical rating of the two campaigns ground games would look something like this: Obama--100, McCain--1
