Labor Unions and Ground Game Political Plays for the Obama Campaign Considered


Everyone knows that the Democrats have a very strong get out the vote strategy, they always have. In this way they can amass large numbers of precinct voter drives, or protests when they are needed. Many political pundits and media reporters are wondering if this will be enough to get President Obama reelected on November 1, 2012. Will it be enough, will people get out in mass as they did before to go vote for the Teleprompting Prince? Well, let's discuss this shall we?

Kent Hoover of the Washington Business Journal had an interesting article on November 1, 2012 titled; "Unions think ground game will help Obama beat Romney."
The unions although not as strong as they once were, they do have a history of strong political support, and Obama and his Administration have been working hard to give those union workers the edge. While Obama has not delivered on his economic promises or gotten anywhere near his job growth projections, some union members are loyal supporters for him and anything labeled Democrat and that's no donkey dung either.
Unfortunately, the Union's ground game, at least in past periods has sometimes involved coercion, having people vote twice, lying to voters, and massive bullying. Have things changed? Probably, thing are most likely less tenuous now, and realize everyone has a smart phone with a video cam and digital picture device which can upload it to the Internet in.02494294 seconds, if you catch my drift.
So, this is what left-leaning democrats and their socialist contingency does to protect their own over the rest of the masses, while they get big benefits and pay. Do the unions and democrats have anything to lose by electing Romney, no probably not because he will turn the economy around, increase job growth, keep the country out of bankruptcy and therefore overall it will be a net gain for every American - still, the unions and democrats don't see it like that.
They want their name sake back in office, and they'd consider that a true victory and anything else a defeat. They don't want a Republican in any office, much less the president, even if Romney is a middle of the road Republican, perhaps with a lot of the same family values as a good many of those mislead union workers who believe that their Savior in Chief (aka Teleprompter in Chief) can do in the next four years what he's been unable to do in the last 4-years. Well, whatever your views are on this topic, I ask that you please consider all this and think on it.
