Welcome. Please state your opinion for administration and purporse of this e-group. Thank you.

lionanimal — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 11:34:58 EST

Welcome to this new e-group on barackobama.com for Washington state Obama delegates emerging from local precient caucus's on the path forward to the next round of caucus's. The following is my opinion about the administration of this e-group.

--------------------------------------------------

Sugest the new e-group have both a moderator on blog and moderator on listserver. a moderator has a duty to manualy approve each posting prior to electronic distribution commencing. It would also be great if you could find a third person for your mini-team. That third person would attempt to address the needs of Obama Delegates who do not have internet access. Fiftey percent of the general population of Washington stte does not have internet access. Obviously you can't try for one-on-one contact with these non-internet people. You would have to address them thru staged distribution. Encourage the people who have internet access to establish personal relationships with non-internet Obama delegates in their local precient, legislative district, county or social circle to relay information to/from your (our) e-group). next phase of caucus's is a team sport. The precient caucus was pretty much an "indivdiual" type of participation. For example: Suggest just a very general format for blog or e-mail content on the new e-group be enforced. For example: Request authors state explicityly...1) This information is relevant to L.D. caucus / County caucus preparation effort because of.........2) MEMBERS (by role) OF THE precient / l.d. / county caucus team who should pay particular attention are .....3) Content of this message is categorized as a) information only, b) action item stated, C) status update from field requested by such and such a date, 4) Author's contact information should be explicitly stated as barackobama.com screen name, e-mail addy, l.d. and precient location, and (optional) phone number.5) general media reference sources provided by hyperlink such as ....

For what it is worth, if you are unable to attend the Stand For Change rally with Senator Barack Obmaa in-person today, Friday February 8 at Key Arena ... then consider the following potential resource that might be of use:Live coverage of presidential candidates -
Thursday: Watch live coverage of Barack Obama on KING5.com, NWCN.com and NorthWest Cable News
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ok, ok I hear questions already "What exactly does that mean?" Hopefully the folks that run those commercial websites will clarify soon. It could mean a few brief mini-reports from time to time, or it could mean wall-to-wall coverage. The folks responsible for those commercial websites have not seen fit to clarify their intentions yet.Clearly the preferable option is to attend in-person. If you are sick of "Politics As Usual" does that qualify you to take a sick-day from work and attend the rally at Key Arena on Friday February 8?Best regards,

Staying energized as a grassroots volunteer for Obama.

From our experience, one way for grassroots volunteers to stay energized for the duration of a long campaign is to observe the incredible on-camera presence of Barack. As an individual (not affiliated with Obama For America), I have been sharing DVD's of Barack's appearances on TV with friends, associates, and motivated citizens. The following device is worth it's weight in gold. http://www.aleratec.com/al13dvcotopr.html If you have a team of volunteers that you are are striving to maintain cohesion and consistency with, consider this method of genuine motivation, inspiration and givng leadership. The candidate speaks best (for himself). Remember, lots of folks don't have broadband access, but almost everyone has a television and DVD player.

Democratic Leadership Council -- analysis -- appeal to a broad electorate.

lionanimal — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 10:03:18 EDT

The following analysis is of great concern. In my opinion, the Democratic Party has a process that tends to reduce the probability of ultimate victory. History has shown that the Democratic nominee for president tends to not be the Democratic contender with the broadest appeal to the electorate at-large.

I consider Senator Barack Obama to clearly be the Democratic presidential contender with the broadest, most general appeal and electability by the general population of Ameriican adult citizens and potential voters.

My question to those of you who are more informed / experienced / insightful than me... What givens, assumptions and projections has the following analyst made in their perspective and opinions? See below...

I greatly admire the substance and style of Senator Barack Obama, democratic candidate for president of the United States. I really appreciate how he is NOT tearing the party apart and is welcoming into the process new people and disaffected citizens who are independents and former GOP'ers. We need them and all Democrats onboard to transform the nation, win the election. Some folks in the presss just don't understand that securing the nomination is the first of the three steps. See the following.
