(Community Matters) Conference call with the campaign this morning. We’ve registered over 1,700,000 new voters since the primary. Consider 252 electoral states solidly ours (former Kerry states) and another 12 quite confident (New Mexico & Iowa). We feel very good about Florida, Georgia, Colorado and Nevada, though statistically tied in the latter two. Also tied in Indiana and North Carolina. Early voting started yesterday in Georgia and voters lined up, wrapping around the block in Atlanta.
Unfortunately, McCain’s campaign, RNCs and 527s have launched the ugliest attack we’ll ever see. Print, telephone, field and media distorting all known truth and lying about Barack’s relationship with Ayers and his faith, and intended to scare voters. Canvasers acosting people in early voting lines. Mailers in West Virginia like voters haven’t seen in a decade, the worst of Jesse Helms style.
Barack held an all hands conference call with staff today. Message (paraphrasing): I know it feels good right now but remember New Hampshire.
