We've talked about the ground game. In 2008, some of Obama's "ground game" was increasing registration. This year, he has failed at it in PA, NV and NC.
J.J, in those three states, have Democratic registrations increased, remained the same, or fallen since the 2010 elections?
Well, in the case of NV, D registrations have increased slightly since 2008, while R registrations have dropped. The D margin has consequently moved from D+111 000 to D+130 000.
The Obama campaign might have set its sights higher than that, I suppose, but increasing their margin over the Republicans in voter registrations is hardly a failure.
