Michael Dukakis was quite complimentary of Edwards and the need to focus on organizing the 200,000 precincts in the US. The need to have people knocking on doors that were friends and neighbors would expand the map. John Edwards would be a wonderful surrogate for the Obama campaign because of his fight for working people.

...quite a bit higher than that, but I certainly agree about organizing every one of them that has at least 5 Democrats in it, something I've been arguing for since the '80s, and especially since 2003. Huge numbers of them, even in blue areas, have no Dem apparatus at all, meaning lower turnouts in elections, with all that this means.
