How the money is being spent: Mobilization. The Obama Campaign has put the money into boots on the ground. Workers activating volunteers, and the activists are growing exponentially. They are making the calls, knocking on the doors, registering the voters and telling them to Get Out The Vote.
The POW Camp is phoning in a national campaign. They don't have the funding or the motivation to produce the movement, and encourage the excitement. The national ad buys, or latest attack ad shown as nauseum on the cable channels are cheap, but shallow. They do nothing practical on the important issue of voter mobilization.
Obama has put 12 or 13 states in play through hard work, not petty bickering. Not through negative ads, but hours and hours of volunteers participating in Democracy. This is something that, even if he wanted to, johhniePOW could not reproduce.
This is why we will win. We have a strong candidate who understands the power of organization. Grassroots, netroots and thousands of volunteers putting in millions of hours of work.
Volunteer! GOTV!
Go, OBAMA!
