Have your friends write down what went wrong and what went and most importantly, how you would go about fixing it. This is one of the biggest problems with ANY volunteer organization -- its all volunteer, noone is doing any of it for a salary and chances are they don't have actual experience in it. But we really need stuff like this documented so it can be fixed next time! The Dean campaign in Iowa was the same damn way. Too many volunteers, not enough work, too many duplicate databases. (I'm not really sure how this can work, honestly, since 527s and volunteer groups aren't allowed to coordinate with the parties. Could it be the Republicans cheated by coordinating any old way and saying to hell with the rules? It wouldn't surprise me). Maybe we need a third-party clearing house for things like databases. At an rate, we need to clean up those databases starting with the new year (noone wants to be bugged about shit like this between Thanksgiving and new year's).
