Favorite graph (damn, that was loooong!):

"Even as Messina jet-sets around the country, huddling with big donors, will the campaign cultivate the small donors and grassroots activists who powered and shaped the ‘08 Obama campaign? On February 1 Politico’s Mike Allen reported that “Obama’s political operation is quietly using the afterglow of his State of the Union address to begin activating grassroots supporters as the start of a continuous wave of engagement that will culminate when he stands for reelection on Nov. 6, 2012.” As part of the effort, OFA offered T-shirts to activists featuring a tag line from Obama’s speech: “We do big things.” The article provided a revealing glimpse into the campaign’s early strategy for 2012—woo wealthy donors and sell T-shirts to the masses."

Can't help wondering why they didn't with "WTF"?  

One small site I visit sometimes sells shirts that say "2P4O"  (Too Progressive for Obama)

Most depressing line I've read in a while.

“Messina will freely tell you that everything he knows, he learned from Baucus,”

The  most conservative senator barring Nelson is his role-model, and this guy is running Obama's reelection campaign...?

"The afterglow of the state of the union speech"

Gag me with a spoon!  I swear before Jesus, (and I concede the self-destructiveness of the meme) I would relish the look on O's face while he concedes, that baitenswitch scumbag.

How's that for "afterglow"?
