It's those community organizing skills that have enabled him to successfully run a 50-state grassroots campaign and turn out record numbers of democratic primary voters and caucus-goers in long-ignored red states, effectively burying the losing Clinton/Gore/Kerry/Clinton/DLC "We only need 15 states to win!" strategy. It's already paying dividends. The head of the Texas Democratic Party said that Obama's grassroots campaign did more for the TDP in 2 weeks than it's been able to do on its own in 10 years. Just this weekend, a democrat and Fermilab physicist picked up Dennis Hastert's old seat in large part because of these grassroots efforts.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I think Laura Bush would be a great president. She could solve any foreign policy crisis at a blind intersection on a rural Texas road. Ahmadinejad? Invite him to Crawford. Put him in a '78 Impala. Medvedev making you blue? Ask him to test drive a '77 Volare. Kim Jong il? Pontiac Le Mans. Pretty soon, word would get around.1970s Abraham Lincolnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252992063572498718noreply@blogger.com
