Obama, Ohio And Organising

Probably the best article I've read on how the Obama campaign is using community organising:

"The Ohio campaign is attempting to build teams in 1,231 campaign-defined "neighborhoods," each covering eight to ten precincts. They are targeting virtually every inhabited square mile of the state. The campaign claimed to have teams in 65% of neighborhoods when I visited in early September. That's risen to 85% coverage at press time — and they are shooting for 100%. In contrast, the Kerry campaign effectively wrote off rural counties, and completely abandoned them in the final few weeks of the campaign in a last minute all-in shift to the cities."

We're going to try and do outreach to both unions and social enterprises between now and April, start a TTW campaign in one ward (the ward of the deputy leader, who's a PPC for the Tories), and keep engaged with the growing Transition Town movement here in Coventry.
