I was all set to start researching the numbers to prove why John McCain’s big ground game push:
A month ago, McCain’s campaign made a combined 20,000 phone calls and door-knocks. Last week, they made 324,000 — a sixteen-fold increase.
…is really just kind of sad compared to Obama’s, but then I saw Sean over at Five Thirty Eight already did that. So, read his analysis:
Let’s do some quick math. Martin’s reporting suggests to us based on that ratio that nationwide, in one week, the McCain campaign talked to approximately 81,000 voters. The Obama campaign talked to about 27,000 in one state in one night. If we make a reasonable guess that Ohio has something like one-fifteenth of Obama organizers and volunteers, that’d be 405,000 voters contacted in one night nationwide. In 7 days, that’s 2,835,000 voters contacted, compared to the McCain 81,000, a thirty-five-fold edge.
HAHA! McCain’s ground game is quite pathetic.
(Thanks Sean!)

Haha, these Mccain campaign incompetence stories keep coming. When are they going to do something right?
