| Calling Truce With A Senator |
June 15, 2006, Buzz Fugazi
|
During the 2004 Democratic Primary I had firsthand behind-the-scenes
experience of what Barack Obama's US Senate Campaign was doing
with volunteer recruitment and training. Say what you want about
the Senator (I always do) but his campaign was the best organized
grassroots campaign I ever saw, next to the Rush Campaign that
beat Senator Obama in 2000... I'm kidding. The Senator ran a
statewide campaign that was the biggest wallop in the history
of US Senate Primaries in Illinois. He did better than the Late
Great Senator Paul Simon who had the backing of Reform and Machine
Democrats. The 2004 Obama For Senate Campaign was a textbook
example of combining the best of reform grassroots precinct
organizing with classic hardball Chicago stuff, including a
win in the Gotcha! contest... getting a picture on the front
page of the Trib showing him upping his opponent in the middle
of the street at a parade on Devon Avenue in Rogers Park. Even
when you are 100% not ghetto, it starts to rub off on you if
you spend any time there, yo.
