In my red state today...

[Renaissance Man]

...we held our registration drive and dispatched teams throughout the city to get new voters registered. By the end of the summer, the goal is to have 50,000 new registered voters on the rolls and to the polls (or vote early).

Oh, and this is just Part I of Phase I. I can't wait until the college tour in September.

That is the genius of the Obama campaign.

YES WE CAN!

1. Which state is this? Great job you're doing by the way!

[Renaissance Man]

2. Louisiana.

The network is growing, and there is a serious chance to flip this state with some hard work.

[NotThisTime]

Excellent, thank you!

[Jane Austin]

3. I heard they registered 30,000 new voters in Georgia

in the last few weeks.

The lines at the polls are going to be long unless people vote early.

Wish more states had that.

[NotThisTime]

4. Really? This is great news for GA! Need to find and enlist every unregistered voter for the Dem's!!!

[Jane Austin]

6. I think I read here at DU that there are 600,000

unregistered black citizens in Georgia.

Don't know how they know that without registering them.

7. I wish I could help in these states :( I'm in VT, the best I can do is canvas on Vacation to VA & FL

10. Canvas on vaca..now there's

some dedication:) But, I know we only have one chance and this is it!

[NotThisTime]

12. Yup, that's how I'm looking at it, the family will be having fun while I'm all work this go round!

FL & VA are important states I will be there and I will canvas my heart out.....

14. Thank you, NotThisTime!

We all appreciate the work.

16. How Close Are You to the New Hampshire Line?

NH is leaning slightly Republican in a lot of polls. It should be one of the most doable states to nail down.

[NotThisTime]

17. Not close at all, I'm near Burlington, I can hit across the lake in Upstate NY....

8. great work! nt

11. Louisiana was almost a swing state in 2000

with a victory margin for Republicans of 6.52%. It was not close for Kerry though, but it may be competetive for Obama

13. Louisiana is going to be tough

but it's doable. At the very worst, if it stays close, McCain is going to have to dump resources into the state to try to win it thereby bleeding him dry to compete in other states.

18. great work! Louisiana is in play for the fall.
