Obama Delivers on the Ground
While I am still personally undecided in my own vote between Edwards and Obama, I do have to say last night's caucus showed that Obama could deliver on the promise of his organizing skills, turning his online and student forces into an effective army on caucus night that Dean notably failed to do four years ago.
As I wrote in June in Obama as Movement Builder?
Obama is working to engage a lot of folks in movement building who are not the "low hanging" fruit of available activists, including the netroots.
The payoff from those organizational skills were obvious last night but the deeper significance could be a realignment of a whole range of voters into the progressive column, not just in November but over time.
