I got this one via DCCC email.
It shows GOTV door knockings and call banking in the last 3 elections. The activist base, including most Kossacks, made an effort. But when the possible voters heard the pitch it didn't resonate. Too many were disillusioned with Obama's performance perhaps because they were disinformed or perhaps because Obama didn't deliver towards their vision or because or because their life had become harder.
We lost dramatically not because we didn't do the effort, we lost because our messaging and the Democratic party messaging was not right.
As I said before, Bill Maher said it best about what the messaging should have been to crush the anti-Obama messaging of the Tea Party/GOP. But this framework that shows how Obama's administration has been a success was not voiced by the Dem candidates or the party or PACS.
The activist base was there. The party grassroots were there. The message was not. They work together or nothing happens.
