According to the Politico, the McCain campaign has declared in an epic 100-minute long PowerPoint presentation (!) that it will beat Obama not despite but rather because of its "lean" organization. Short on cash? Short on staff? That's all part of their plan! The McCain campaign is organizing a lean, mean, fast-reacting, ultra-smart fighting force! Think of it as the campaign version of Rumsfeld's wildly successful plan to modernize the military.
Reading the piece, I got to thinking. If that's the big McCain plan, then the least we can do is lend a hand to this Leader We Can Believe In.
The article points out that
post-election research by the Republican National Committee had showed ways to be more efficient: For instance, people who vote every year might not need as many mailings and phone calls as they got from Bush-Cheney.
And that got me to thinking: We Kossacks could help the RNC and the McCain Campaign reach literally THOUSANDS of potential new supporters, all the while helping to keep their "lean" campaign in fighting trim!
All we have to do is sign up on the GOP and McCain sites (making sure to fill out all the address forms), and the GOP will be able to send us plenty of their delightful mailings. This will give them oodles of new data for their vaunted microtargeting programs, help them apply their resources toward engaging this exciting new bloc of voters, and will also allow us to keep tabs on the sort of literature they are dropping. It's a win-win-win!
This isn't just about making mischief and keeping an eye on the slimy doings of the GOP. It's about the future. It's about leaving our dehydrated children and grandchildren a planet where they will never have to worry about going without bottled hot water ever again.
