The caucus-night effort, orchestrated by President Obama’s re-election campaign (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/12/obama-campaign-strategists-expect-long-gop-primary-and-like-it/) and the state Democratic Party, will take place at dozens of public schools (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#) and libraries, community centers and government offices (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#) in all 99 counties.

A senior member of the Obama campaign – possibly the President himself – will deliver a live video message (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/obama-holds-birthday-video-teleconference-14231872) to each caucus gathering over the Internet, state Democratic officials said.

The exercise (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#) marks a new phase in the president’s campaign to win Iowa in 2012, four years after the state helped catapult him into the White House. This year’s caucuses, however, will be less about numbers and turnout, and more about building a sense of urgency and energy for the quickly escalating campaign.

The Obama campaign has already opened eight offices across Iowa – more than any other Republican candidate – in Cedar Rapids, Sioux City, Des Moines, Waterloo, Davenport, Iowa City, Dubuque and Council Bluffs. They’ve also enlisted hundreds of volunteers (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/obama-builds-army-campaign-volunteers-14803811).
Since April, when Obama announced his bid for re-election, Democrats have held more than 1,000 events, including volunteer trainings, house parties (http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/ia-caucus-house-party) and phone banks, a campaign official told ABC News.
Obama supporters have also placed more than a quarter million phone calls to potential voters and held at least 2,500 one-on-one conversations about the election, all aimed at rekindling the personal connections Obama used to great success in his Iowa campaign four years ago.....snip~

Obama has not been hiding or starting late in Iowa. Althought with Television Ads he is. Paul is running that line. Also The Demos are mistaken Pauls is all over the state with offices and organization everywhere. The difference is Paul has a good bunch of those 700,000 Independants Iowa has. 615k Repubs and 640k Demos. Republicans should be doing the same thing.

Now I do not have a problem with Poltiicans that want to endorse a candidate by the internet. None whatsoever. Sure beats them traveling all across the country just to endorse people. It also shows us that measure can be used to stop ALL poltiicans from wasting money that is not theirs. So they can go out and party with their fellow compadres.

Of course if the Repubs are smart they will be talking about those rights Obama is taking from them. Let alone the economic issues. Moreover time to start focusing on that Elitsm and his transitionioning of American into that defination he has not given. Although,that is the European Set! Attorneys are easy to attack and are easy to show them for what they are. Should be easy to take down in the eyes of all Americans!

Why does Iowa matter to Obama if he's already got the nomination?

Uhm.....I think its about winning Iowa against the Republicans as in Campaign. Not that Obama is worried about any nomination. All this has been done in prelude to the Republican Campaign in Iowa. Over a 1000 events have already been held by Demos. All during these debates as well. Thi is the scoop on what Obama and the Demos have been up to.

Plus now the new method of speaking to all these homes and basements all via the Net. Either Obama himself or others in their Party.

Just seems like he might do better to focus on bigger states...or even better focus on being POTUS.

One would think Paul would have done the same with speaking to his followers via live Internet Action. That the Repubs would have learned to do the same. Obama knows he has to draw the Independants this time as he will not be pulling many of those Republicans that supported him last time.

He has shown he layed the blame all at the Repubs feet, which is what his base wants. Attacks on the GOP.
Yet just look at how many Democrats are not going to run again. I see no way they will win the Senate this time.

More of concern to all should be the MSM and what they are putting out there. like WR stated its like they driving the influence to what they want to see. plus more and more of them are in bed with politics and not about being their watchdog!

Politicians in the media? You must be referring to Fox News, who employs Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, and many other Republicans. Such hiring practices do not take place at left wing media organizations. For example MSNBC suspended Olberman for his very minor contribution to a political campaign.

What are you delusionsal? NBC, ABC, and CNN. All did the same damn thing. Then MSDNC Hired Lawrence ODonnell, Joe Scarborough,. CNN hired Elliot Spitzer. NBC and MSDNC just got done bringing in Chelsea Clinton which I thought you left in a post there on that thread we had up. Tho I might be mistaken and it may have been JG.

It's a joke really. What you think Al Sharptones should be some Pundit or Host for a News media outlet? That any of these politicians should be up there in the Media as hosts and or pundits is a travesty to this Country.

Chelsea Clinton is not a politician. She is a journalist.

A journalist nonetheless, and she has never held office. If you were truly against politicians in the media you would be going after Faux News and not an innocent like Chelsea.

Correction again Pen.....there was no need for me to mention Fox. You mentioned them. I am against all of them being anywheres around the World of the Media. In any shape fashion or form. Lets not forget Bloomberg who owns his own station outright.

It does matter with Clinton. She didnt go to college to study to become a journalist. U can look her up thru Wikipedia if you like. Moreover the Clintons have been putting the people into the World of Media since Bilbo was a Govenor. Can't change the World if you can't control the Media! :wink:

you are arguing against yourself, going to college to study journalism will almost assuredly guarantee
that you will enter the real world with a crippling liberal bias.....quite convinced that your job is not to inform by presenting the facts, you will seek to persuade by picking and choosing which facts and how they are presented, ignoring news/information that is inconveniant to your agenda all together ie fast and furious, solyndra, continually manipulated economic stats, libyan war, failed policy, wasted trillion, ever mounting debt etc etc etc.....
