OUR NEW PRESIDENT

The election of Barack Obama as our 44th president is a historic event. Everything seemed to fall in place for Obama on through the entire campaigning process. From his acceptence speech at the DNC falling on the anniversary of MLK's I have a dream speech, to the collapse of the US/GLOBAL economy 4 weeks before election day. There is a lot to learn about how he and his staff managed to run an almost flawless campaign. His ground game was unbelievable; they used text messaging, youtube videos, music...It was amazing. They had people going door to door the old fashioned way, and they hit many college campuses to enroll new voters and to encourage the existing registered voters to actually go out and vote (Except for ACORN, they suck). His campaign raised the bar to an entirely new level and I can't wait to see what the next round of elections will have in store for us. It also didn't hurt that his campaign managed to raise so much money; I heard that his campaign had so much money left over they paid all staff a bonus worth one month's wages and let everyone keep their lap tops and blackberry's. That's pretty cool.
