Yeah, GOTV is essential to any campaign.  Obama bused in volunteers into Iowa from his homebase of Illinois/Chicago, and those volunteers made the difference against Hillary and Edwards.  Some say people from Illinois were crossing the border to vote for Obama - but it was never proven. 

McCain won NH based on name recognition and the military veteran vote he secured in 2000 and 2008.  I think Romney finished a close second, but Romney actually ignored NH based on arrogance and spent all his money in Iowa. 

Hillary had a lot of Bill Clinton supporters in NH (comeback kid) and she had bused in volunteers from Albany and NYC.
