Even though WE- led by Barack Obama -appear to winning the battle it is important to remember that ours is still very much of insurgency to win back the heart and soul of not only the Democratic party but the country.
The establishment which doesn't care about Republican or Democrat only that it remains in power will continue to fight back. So as we go forward lets remember how insurgencies win-First harry the enemy at multiple points, then tie them down , then encircle them and finally destroy them.
The greatest asset that Barack Obama has created in this campaign is the self organized grass roots movements in all 50 states. Speaking just for my state we had created a grass roots movement to support Obama weeks after he said he was running and managed on our own (including get many state elected officials to support him) up until about 2 weeks before our primary. I am sure that is true of all the other states. Hopefully, our fellow democrats in the HRC campaign will join us as we head into the fall.
While many of these grass roots movements will be in states that BHO has no reasonable chance of winning they still play an important role. The excitement we generate will put down ballot races into play. As MS-01 showed there are few really safe Republican seats.This then meets the first rule of insurgencies- harry them everywhere.
An energized Democratic electorate can make a major difference in many races. Those efforts will then force State Republican parties to keep the resources (money and people) that they would have diverted to other battle ground states in past elections, at home to defend their incumbents. That meets rule number 2 - tie them down. Given the general disarray within Republican ranks this kind of pressure just hastens the "every man/woman for themselves". This is exactly happened in the end of the civil war - state Governors withheld supplies and men from the Army of N.Virginia to fight the predations of Sherman and other northern raiders effectively dooming Robert Lee.
This then allows for the encirclement of a disorganized and short staffed Republican machine in the battleground states supported by grass roots organizations from safe states like my own.
And then onto final victory!!!
