~THIS IS NOT A TROLLISH BASH THREAD~http://www.politicsonline.com/blog/archives/2007/06/obama_parlays_i.php">Walk for Change This weekend the Obama campaign hit the streets in a "Walk for Change," which may have been the largest canvassing effort this early in the cycle.
This effort was made possible because of the strength of Obama's Internet presence. Obama far and away leads the GOP and Democratic field of presidential contenders in all tangible indicators on the Web. More than 100,000 people are signed up on the Obama MySpace page, and more than 2 million people have viewed an Obama video via YouTube. In addition, to these statistics, Obama also raised millions of dollars online particularly in small donations.
The "Walk for Change" canvassing effort is the continuation of the online strategy to engage the grassroots, and it shows that this powerful Internet organization can be parlayed into real world results. The total number of canvassers was 1,500, and they spent the weekend knocking on doors in 38 cities across the nation. Iowa saw many of these supporters with 150 in Waterloo and 250 in Iowa City.Photos?v=0 ?v=0
