Was reading a dissection of Romney's campaign efforts ans cam across this little gem:

Obama's ground game relied on "an extraordinarily sophisticated database packed with names of millions of undecided voters and potential supporters," says The New York Times. The database allowed Obama's army of field workers to target new voters, register them, and get them to the polls.

wow....when i read "target...register...get them to the polls", i realize that it is political-speak for "go under the bridge/home depot parking lot"...."find hobos / illegal immigrants"...."give them $20"

Apparently Obama has a database of MILLIONS of people, who fit such a specific criteria..."undecided, unregistered, and unmotivated" people

somehow knowing that those people were duped into participating in an election that they otherwise do not care about...is unsettling.
Malcolm X said it correctly....."chumps!"

So, anyone else concerned that "undecided, unregistered, and unmotivated" are suddenly behind the wheel?

RealClear has this analysis of Ohio that posits the unemployed in typical Republican counties did not turn out to vote. So yes, the Democrats likely concentrated on their own counties and brought out their unemployed, illegals, etc.

On a similar note, it appears that the Romney campaign's software (ORCA) to manage this process for them crashed (and was not previously beta tested) when it was needed most.
