Obama Campaign Kicks off Pickerington Area Campaign
I saw first hand the 50 state strategy in person tonight. The Obama campaign is clearly not conceding any state or any county in this campaign. A kickoff event was held tonight in Pickerington formerly expected to be a Republican stronghold. 75 volunteers showed up to meet the Obama staffer, Christian Lund who will be working the northwest Fairfield County area for Obama through the election.
He along with Beth Hughes a volunteer with the campaign laid out the strategy not only for the entire campaign but for the Pickerington area specifically. They will of course be doing voter registration drives, door to door canvasing and phone banks, but what may surprise some is they will be opening an office in Pickerington.
It was discussed that though Kerry lost Fairfield County by 20,000 plus votes in 2004 that after the last primary the ratio of registered Republicans to Democrats is now 50/50.
The importance of Ohio was discussed, and that if Obama can win the same states Kerry won in 2004 plus Ohio, he will win the election.
If you live in the Pickerington area and would like to be involved with the campaign locally go to mybarackobama.com and join the Pickerington for Obama group. Feel free to email me on this site for additional information.

I am not trying to make fun of anyone, but when they said (quoting you, not them): "The importance of Ohio was discussed, and that if Obama can win the same states Kerry won in 2004 plus Ohio, he will win the election," did anyone who attended as a volunteer not actually know that?
Ben,
I'm sure they did, but it was mentioned in the context of impressing on the volunteers the importance of every little thing they can do to help.
