Obama Camp to Launch 50-State Voter Registration Drive

@ 5:57 pm by Chris Good

Barack Obama's campaign is scheduled to launch a 50-state voter registration drive tomorrow, holding 101 kickoff events across the country. The effort, entitled "Vote for Change, will last six months and will rely on volunteers to register new voters, according to the Obama campaign.

Pundits have credited Obama with drawing new primary voters to the polls, and the Obama campaign says recent registration drives have yielded 200,000 new registered voters in Pennsylvania, 165,000 in North Carolina, and 150,000 in Indiana. Obama lost Pennsylvania and Indiana's primaries to Hillary Clinton, but won in North Carolina.

Obama will not attend any of the 101 kickoff events tomorrow, instead holding a town hall meeting in Bend, Oregon, according to his public schedule.

The Hill welcomes comment from anyone and will almost always post it whether it is favorable or critical, as long as it is substantive and advances debate.
  1. Clinton takes Indiana by a ‘razor’ and Obama wins North Carolina by a huge margin. Nevertheless, Kentucky, Montana and West Virginia are still to come.

    The Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates

    If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama

    If you haven't done so yet, please write a message to each of your state's superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com

    Obama Supporters:

    Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it's appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It's that easy…

    Clinton Supporters too …. !

    It takes a moment, but what's a few minutes now worth to get Clinton in office?! Those are really worth !

    Sending a note to current Clinton supporters lets them know it's appreciated, sending a note to current Obama supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Clinton, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Clinton. It's that easy…
