The last debate for the presidential elections just finished. Snap polls have Obama winning 57 to 31 for independents, 88 to 5 for democrats and losing 68 to 18 for republicans.
Lately, McCain has actually lost ground to Obama since he stepped up his mudslinging drive. Sarah Palin calling Obama a terrorist has also had a negative effect.
Anyway, see the results for yourselves if you're interested.
The reason I'm even posting at all is to spread an article entitled "The New Organizers: The Truth Behind Obama's Ground Game" by Zack Exley.

It's about how the Obama campaign this year has been hugely successful in organizing volunteers from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective at the same. it's really summed up in the slogan "Respect. Empower. Include."
The article itself is bipartisan, and is more focused on field organization and how to get people involved in things in general. It's also quite inspirational.
