Today, I had a phone conversation with a friend who is volunteering in Fayette County, PA. The number of volunteers has been few and far from between at this regional office. Located South of Pittsburgh on the WV border, this Democratic leaning area has a huge GOTV universe which must be knocked-on. Why? Because Obama got crushed in this region by 60% during the PA primary.
What makes matters worse is this county is located in Murtha's congressional district where his infamous comments are resonating. Volunteers who have been knocking on the door have been getting flack and degrading comments which will not be repeated.
Hence, there is only a small dedicated cadre of volunteers projected for Monday and Election Day and in dire need of more to meet the projected GOTV universe. From talking to my buddy on the phone, he suggested to sound the bugle and request 'all hands on deck' for the next two days on Dkos. This is the ground zero where holding rust belt blue-collar counties such as Fayette will add up to an Obama victory in PA and sending him to the Whitehouse.
Here is the info:
