With Donna Brazile giving Bush an A, that says a lot.

I really respect Donna Brazile.

In 2000 in terms of "get out the vote" she just flat out butt kicked Karl Rove's behind all over the map. - The Dems just killed the GOP in GOTV - it wasn't even close Shocked

Brazille almost cerrtainly "stole" Oregon, Wisconsin, New Mexico, and maybe even Minnesota "on the ground" from Bush.

If Gore had kept his money in Ohio the last 3 weeks instead of diverting it all to Florida, Gore would likely have won Ohio too.


I really agree with you that the Gore campaign did an incredible job of turnout, particularly in Pennsylvania.  Much better than the Bush campaign in 2000.

While Donna certainly deserves much of the credit, Ed Rendell also did a lot, particularly in Pennsylvania.

This year, Bush appears to have a better GOTV effort than Kerry.

BTW, if the reports by CBS are accurate, I think they're too generous.

The Bush campaign has done a good job, a sold B.

The Kerry campaign did a very good job in the first three months of the year, then it crumbled.  So, an A for the first quarter, a C for the second quarter, and a D (so far) for the third quarter.

Actually, one of the key methods of GOTV is early (what used to be called absentee) voting.

Have heard little discussion of this technique lately.

It can be critical.  

Just ask Gov. Bradley (California).  lol
