"In Ohio, ACT sends out between 200 and 250 paid canvassers each day. They get paid between $8 and $10 an hour. Setzer reels off impressive numbers: We've knocked on 3.7 million doors in Ohio, had more than 1 million conversations. On Election Day, ACT will send out 12,000 volunteers, each paid a stipend of $75 for travel and expenses, to make sure voters get to the polls. ACT and the partner organizations that make up America Votes have registered about 300,000 new voters in Ohio, and they'll consider it a success to turn out just half of them. Those voters alone, though, wouldn't swing the election. Four years ago, Bush's margin of victory was nearly 180,000 votes. In all, Ohio has between 700,000 and 800,000 new voters for this election, though Setzer points out that some of that could just be churn from voters who moved." This from Hugh Hewitt.
Ever wonder how we survived during the days before McCain/Feingold? Why is the left wing mainstream (oximoron) not reporting this story to the hilt. It would seem that gross violations, far worse than ever invisioned
In case you did not realize, McCain the media darling is getting a free ride from screwing up our electoral process with the stupidest law on the books---denying political speach
