Is Obama's Ground Game Shifting N.M.?

CBS Evening News: Demographics, Geography Key To "Photo Finish" State

(CBS)  New Mexico calls itself "The Land of Enchantment."

But in politics, it's "the land of the photo finish." Al Gore won there eight years ago by 366 votes - and George W. Bush won there in 2004 by 5,988 votes, CBS News senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield reports.

But when Sen. John McCain went to New Mexico last weekend, he found himself behind by as much as 13 points in a recent poll. Why?

One key: Demographics. New Mexico has the largest percentage of Hispanic voters of any state in the union - more than 37 percent. And Sen. Barack Obama is leading among that group by better than 3 to 1.

"Most often Hispanics in New Mexico are very concerned about jobs and the economy and those domestic issues, but this time it is just out-ranking everything else," said Christine Sierra of the University of New Mexico.

Another key: Geography. The Obama campaign in New Mexico has reached beyond the traditional democratic strongholds of Albuquerque and Santa Fe and focused on rural communities, heavily Hispanic communities like Espanola to the north; in fact Obama was there in September with a blunt political message:

"To the Hispanic community - I want you to start actually voting your numbers," Obama said.

"Strategically and geographically Espanola is the best way to reach out to all the remote areas within northern New Mexico," said Mayor Joe Maestas.

And the Obama ground game, says Maestas, is unprecedented.

"His campaign has 39 offices statewide, in comparison to less than 10 for John Kerry in 2004. Barack Obama's total is as much as four times that of the McCain campaign," he said.

That outreach has swelled Obama's corps of volunteers in the town of 10,000.

"We're just honored that he even stopped in our community and so we're kind of we feel like we want to repay that courtesy by volunteering and get directly involved," said Obama supporter Albert Cata.

But McCain's campaign is banking on the socially conservative leanings of many Hispanics here:

"The majority of Hispanics in New Mexico are Catholic, pro-family, pro-life and I believe he does represent our values," said Cecilia Martinez Salazar.

Those values, plus McCain's Western, war-hero background, would likely have made him highly competitive in most years against most opponents.

But this is a very different year.

[blitzder]

Future in the year 2020.

Daddy: ''Who was John McCain?''

Oh, Yeah! He WAS once a presidential candidate in 2008, but the goofball lost the election due to his own erratic campaign fumbling. He picked an obsure woman for his VP, who made quite a fool of John McCain, and made his election campaign into a cartoon show. SHE WAS LAUGHED RIGHT OUT OF HISTORY.

McCain lost by the biggest landslide ever in America.

[mh4cbs1]

VOTE McCAIN!!

FOUR More Years of Republican Prosperity!!

More Huge Tax Cut wealth redistribution to the Super Rich!!

More Massive Spending on the Needless-War in Iraq to help our Economy!!

More Corporate Welfare!

More Deregulation of the Financial Industry so they can continue to thrive!

Privatize Social Security! Invest your retirement safety net in the market!

AND Get a Hocky Mom Vice President - just think, someone just like your next door neighbor could get to be President. WOW!!!

Guys... who would rather get drunk with, Joe Biden or Sarah Palin?? DUH!! So Vote for Palin!

[oldtwo]

WAKE UP!! The Republicans already have your money!

Republicans DOUBLED the national debt in 8 years and mortgaged our children''s future. They''ve given billions to banks and oil companies -- nothing for social security, health care or veterans. Republican policies gutted your college/retirement IRA and now your job''s at risk. McCain PROMISES more of the same.

Say "NO" to four more years of Republican corruption and deceit. Say "NO" to the Palin presidency you%u2019ll get when ol'' McCain goes off to a military hospital with peeling paint. Send Ms Palin off to teach the 20% of kids who drop out of Texas schools %u2013 if she%u2019s qualified -- something actually useful.

Say "YES" to the team that will talk to everyone -- white black hispanic jew old young repub or democrat-- and just maybe help out the other 95% of us in this crisis Republicans created.

[strangeworld]

I''ve been watching the polls since July...every week or so they tighten a few points, then spread again in obamas favor (other than the period right after the RNC convention). We haven''t really seen a definiative shift with all/most the polls indicating that McCain is gaining, so I believe that we''re seeing this seesaw action again. It would take a lot to shift the entire voting public 7-10 points in a couple of days. My advice is to not worry about these last few polls - just get out and vote on Tuesday.

[shochikibo]

jen001980,if Obama wins will you be moving to Alaska with all the other "REAL AMERICANS" to secede from the U.S., and continue the fight against commies from High Priestess Palin''s Holy Alaskan Theocratic Empire? We can only hope so.

[mikael71]

As a British spectator of the American Presidential Elections, I am staggered by the political unreliability and dubiousness of Obama''s friends and allies. Joe McCarthy must be turning in his grave! But seriously, though, it should concern the leaders of N.A.T.O that in this Democrat they might have, on the 5th. November, a real Trojan Horse.

Why is it that you Americans cannot see through Obama''s superficiality and weasel words? And why tar McCain and Palin with Bush''s broad brush of incompetence? However, you did choose to reject King George III................

[martel_v]

In every election cycle, I am disgusted by the insane hatred for Americans and America expressed by the Party of Arrogant Greed, which is accompanied by the absurd claim that this hatred is ''patriotic'' or ''pro-American'' and those who don''t agree are unpatriotic and anti-American traitors. Any conceivable outright lie is continuously employed in their deranged and irrelevant attacks, no matter how often or how effectively the lie is refuted.

This election, the repugnant insanity has become an issue which can no longer be ignored by the rest of us...the ACTUAL silent majority.

It''s long past time that the lunatics of the right-wing cabal are sent back to the insane asylums from which they escaped during the Reagan years.

[smurfcrusher]

CouricObama, your pathetic fearmongering will scare only cowards. That''s why America will vote overwhelmingly for Obama.

Who will you vote for?

p.s. Don''t forget Obama''s TEN years as a lawmaker in Illinois, or his experience teaching Constitutional law.

Although, Palin does hunt wolves from helicopters... so I guess that means she''s qualified, to you.

Fool!

Try not to be a sore loser, ok?

[fbla1805]

Sarah''s doin'' "trickle down" economics, by spendin'' lavishly on herself:

$4,716.49 on hair & makeup just through September,

$22,800. on makeup and hair Oct. 1-15,

$5,102.71 at Bloomingdale%u2019s New York,

$9,447.71 at Macy%u2019s in Minneapolis,

$49,425.74 at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York

$75,062.63 in a whoppin'' spending spree at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis (doggone it, she''s goin'' upscale on us real fast!).

Then there''s the $21,012. for her three daughters'' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since taking office as Gov. in Dec. 2006 (that bill was thankfully paid by the state of Alaska, admirably provin'' Palin''s credentials as an equal-opportunity biller!).

Republicans used to belittle former Sen. John Edwards'' $400 haircut - compared to Palin that was chump change!

Lame... c''mon, you can do better than that.

[fbla1805]

Another reason to vote for Obama/Biden and not for McCain/Palin?

How about Medicare still being around four years from now?

How%u2019s that?

Regarding Medicare / Medicaid, McCain has conveniently been hiding his true plans from seniors. But the pro-Republican Wall Street Journal of Oct. 6, 2008 shined some light on McCain%u2019s radical plans for Medicare / Medicaid.

In an interview with WSJ reporters on October 6th*, McCain economic advisor Doug Holtz-Eakin openly stated they intend to pay for their health insurance tax credits through $1.3 trillion in cuts in Medicare and Medicaid over 10 years.

That would mean reductions in benefits for Medicare and Medicaid of nearly 30% each year for 10 years, starting in January.
_____________________________________________________________

800
You might ask: Why did McCain wait until October 6th to spring this surprise on retirees with fixed incomes?
And why is this plan only to be found in the Wall Street Journal?
Why is McCain not talking to us about his plan in the debates, or in his campaign speeches?

But the answer to these questions is obvious: to prevent seniors, and people getting close to retirement, from learning the truth about his plan before the election next week!

These massive Medicare & Medicaid cuts, will effectively destroy these programs!

In other words, seniors on fixed incomes can literally say goodbye to their healthcare benefits under McCain/Palin.

But McCain never liked Medicare anyway!

[fbla1805]

You can also find McCain%u2019s bosom buddy Samuel (aka Joe The Plumber) attacking Social Security in his youtube rants.

Yes, aside from campaigning for McCain, %u201CJoe%u201D would love to see Social Security gone - on youtube %u201CJoe%u201D calls Social Security %u201Ca joke%u201D!

Also, keep an eye out for Samuel''s (Joe''s) new hit country record!

Huh?

That''s right, Samuel (alias Joe) Wurzelbacher, the Ohio pipe-and-toilet man, just signed with a Nashville PR & management firm to handle interview requests and media appearances for him, and create %u201Cnew career opportunities%u201D, including a shift out of the plumbing business into stage and studio performances.

After helping Palin to head the right-wing Republican Party, the least McCain could do would be to help "Joe" become an entertainment star, right?

[fbla1805]

A good reason to vote for Obama/Biden and not for McCain/Palin?

How about affordable health care for working middle class families?

John McCain%u2019s health care plans will destroy employer-based health insurance (says the US Chamber of Commerce!).

For the millions of Americans that have it, that insurance is worth about $12,000. a year!

After destroying this, McCain will offer instead $5,000. in tax credits!

That%u2019s $7,000. per year that McCain%u2019s plan will steal from each American working family.

Worse, McCain%u2019s plan will throw us out of group insurance rates, forcing us onto the market as individuals, with no market power, up against the powerful, unregulated health-insurance industry giants.

And anyone with a precondition will not get any insurance at all, as is the case today.

[aworldaway]

I see these post that paint Obama as such a scary monster, evil and fake with communist ties, Mafia ties etc... I wonder where does this nonsense come from? Who would believe that ***? But I guess if you''re a Republican and you''ve been listening to your candidate, how could you not believe it? They''ve been drumming it into your head for weeks and if you are only listening to that *** you eventually start to believe it. The GOP counts on people buying their message. If it''s presented to them enough times it becomes the truth.

Nothing can be done to convince people to "see" the window has closed along with their minds. Now ALL Obama supporters must vote, get their friends and family out to vote. Make calls, knock on doors, direct people to Barackobama.com.

After the election, when the world doesn''t end and people see how Obama improves the country, maybe the spell will wear off.

[bonoschild]

So first McCarcinoma picks Palin to try and con the women of the U.S. Next he takes the advice of his handlers and ditches the "maverick" thing to spew lies and half-truths to inspire fear-mongering and hatred. Then he chooses Samuel the Tax-Evading Contractor as a foreign policy consultant. The Maverick Died In 2008. What a shame.

Yes but McCAIN SERVED!

He dropped tons and tons of bombs on North Vietnamese civilians. When he was mercifully shot down, it was incredible that the people didn''t stone him on the spot for his incessant murder.

He endured tremendous pain and hardship in prison camp. That took courage, resilience and strong fortitude to servive, but it was not "heroic".

But hero has become a cheap word. Even McCain said that Joe the Plumber is a "hero". Imagine that.

[nilesjordan]

Sarah where are the medical records.

[mh4cbs1]

Democracy Win.... Don''t be a complete idiot.

In case you haven''t noticed, a massive wealth redistribution has been taking place during the last eight years. A giant sucking of wealth from the middleclass to the super wealthy. Educate yourself. Even McCains president hero Teddy Roosevelt was for a progressive income tax you idiot. was he a socialist too?

Stop being the chump of the Corporate elites and stand up for the American Dream.

Or maybe you want to see the filthy rich get even richer while hard working families are struggling.

Maybe you like the fact that Billionaires pay about a 15% federal tax rate, but their secretaries pay much higher rate of their income to taxes. This is a FACT.

IDIOT! Chump! Grow a pair and stand up for yourself.

[gig15]

Yes McCain served in a POW camp for his reckless and risky flying of Navy planes. He crashed atleast five which at totals price tag would be $2.2 billion each. That is $11 billion dollars total. He spilled his guts to spare his life in POW camp to the Viet Con, who won the Vietnam War. Probably because McCain has loose lips, and gave away all of our strategic military actions, led to our defeat.

Goodness, wouldn''t $11 billion dollars be nice to have in New Mexico''s family homes, really nice schools, nice and warm clothing?

Most Republicans don''t care that your state is one of the poorest in the nation. If they cared, they would have already made flips for you to get you what you truly need. Don''t listen to their propaganda. They are just blowing pipedreams hoping you fall for them. Don''t -- they don''t care about your problems. They just want to continue to control you and keep you in your low status.

Be glad you have Governor Richards who cares about you, is one of you, and loves you. He represents the truth, and highly supports Obama. I''ve lived in New Mexico and you are wonderful people and have beautiful landscapes of God''s natural beauty.

God bless you, and elect Obama.Biden with Clinton for change 2008. They care about you.

God bless you and America.

Most military who are Republican go to communities where they serve and get mistresses, get them pregnant and then leave them to bare the burden of a family without a father. How patriotic is that - not!

[gig15]

Osama bin Laden can''t wait - he just hopes McCain.Palin win because he knows their weaknesses, which makes America very vunerable. McCain will bring destruction to America by getting us vaporized. If he doesn''t Palin will, and she will protect Alaska for herself.

[gig15]

McCain.Palin will find a mountain in New Mexico to dump nuclear waste. Mark my words if he becomes President. I pity you people in New Mexico. You will light up at night and won''t need electricity. you will be the electricity.

If I were a parent of a daughter or son, and they were to date a military person, I would first make sure they were of honor. Secondly, I would have them tested for veneral diseases, check to make sure they don''t have a criminal record (yes criminals are in our military), and make sure they are financial sound. Then, I wouldn''t let my son or daughter be alone one moment until their wedding night. And, I would continue to make sure my daugher or son were treated nice and not abused. Many military abuse their families. So much violence.

this election has brought out every nutcase,racist,kook,and jackass in the country. just look at some of the *** people have written! it''a not hard to imagine how bush got into office and how mccain is going to get into office. look at what couric obama wrote! what rock did this person crawl from under? read this carefully fooolish ones! obama is a u.s. senator,same and mccain.do you know the kind of security checks and backgroung checks these poeple go through? obama,and all of the rest of these so-called terrorist, have taught or are teaching at major universities right now! so, tell me what the hell are you people talking about. are you saying the secret service and the f.b.i. are so stupid that they would let a terrorist in the senate! and i guess the univerisities that you send your kids to are another bunch of knot heads that don''t checkout who they let teach in their universities! you don''t have to like obama or vote for him but there is no need to be totally stupid about this. people are just saying stuff without any thought! in this election was''nt so important, i''d be laughing as some of the sh$t i read and hear. but, it is not funny really. it is actually sad,very sad!

[gig15]

McCain will cut Medicare and social security benefits from our parents and grandparents, and give all American families $5000.00 insurance credit. My premiums cost over $6000.00 a year, $7500.00 in deductibles for a family of 3, and $4000.00 out of pocket for copays. That $5000.00 insurance credit will leave me $12,500.00 short. This amount doesn''t even include any remaining balances due. Then, my parents and grandparents will be short in their benefits, and I''ll have to work 2 jobs to just pay for their healthcare. Gee McCain thanks for the credit at my expense.

Get real, be smart, be knowledgeable and elect a Real American with real American values -- Obama.Biden with Clinton for change 2008.

[gig15]

Palin would look like another wife and mother if she didn''t hide behind all that thick makeup she wears. Can you imagine having to get up so early to put all that makeup and hairspray on. She''s still in high school mentality. Next think you know she will get tatooed makeup.

[gig15]

White Republican men who vote for McCain have sensitive issues with their certain body parts. They have envy that if they paid more attention to their spouses, they might not find themselves divorced and having to pay child support. Most white Republican men like Asian women so they can be superior to them. They make them act like maids and mistresses instead of wives of equality. Republican White men have no equality in their vocabulary. If a white man tells you he is republican, run away as fast as you can or your life will be ruined forever. I know, I was married to one and that was the worst decisions I ever made. My children are the only bright spot in my life from that failed Republican marriage. Never ever go Republican again.

[gig15]

That speech writer was fired by Obama''s campaign since he was in this campaign for self promoting. Get your facts straight before you start bah bah bahing. You Republicans are disgustinly ignorant in all categories. You go to Joe 6 Pack school of thought and sit around listening to who has the loudest belch. So white trailor trash socializing.

[gig15]

Let''s have a French Revolution against the Communist Republican Right guard regime and go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 4th, and elect Obama.Biden with Clinton for change 2008. We were fooled once, shame on Bush, but fooled twice shame on us! Don''t be fooled again with McCain.Palin or we will be held hostage for 4 more years like he was held hostage as a POW in Vietnam. If you are smart, wise, and knowledgeable, you will make the right decision -- Elect Obama.Biden with Clinton for change 2008. Go French Revolution! Burn baby burn and turn out yourself, friends, family, coworkers, church friends, neightor, and get to the polls and make your vote count! Elect Obama.Biden with Clinton for change 2008.

Go Fight Win Obama.Biden with Clinton for change 2008!

White Republicans like McCain make me vomit. I can''t wait to end the 232 years of white man rule. This white woman can''t wait for this closure. I am related to Louis Gossett, Jr., actor. I am related to Chad Pennington QB of Miami Dolphins and they are both fine men, one black and one white, but we need new leadership and new skin tones in Washington. McCain is just too white, skinhead white, white supremacy white, Hilter white. We need sunglasses to look at him with his white glare. Disgusting.

[gig15]

White supremists who John McCain supports killed the late John F. Kennedy, who was Catholic from Ireland and of the Gaelic and Roman Catholic faith. McCain claims to be Episcopalin but doesn''t darken any church doors.

[gig15]

John McCain loves being the Godfather of the mafia, and the mafia may have had something to do with the late John F. Kennedy''s death as well as the white supremist groups.

[gig15]

Most prolife Republicans have their children by birth, then kill them later in life. Really supporting prolife, hardly. They are murderers and killers of living and breathing individuals and they believe in the death penalty. They want to keep the scarlet A of adultry alive and well, and keep women barefoot and pregnant, and working to bring home the Joe Six Pack beer.

[gig15]

The race always tightens at the end. No big surprise. Get out and vote and elect Obama.Biden with Clinton for change 2008.

(HONOLULU)(November 1, 2008) Internet powerhouse Andy Martin has ignited a firestorm in Hawai''i over Barack Obama''s bogus "original" birth certificate. Martin won a stunning victory Friday afternoon (October 31st) when the State of Hawai''i backed his assertion that there was an original, "typewritten, 1961" birth certificate, called a "Certificate of Live Birth" or "COLB" in Hawai''i, that no one has previously seen. Hawai''i officials retrieved and examined the document after Martin filed a lawsuit seeking access to the historic 1961 original.

Obama has falsely claimed to have placed the "original" on the Internet. Factcheck.org has falsely claimed to have seen this document and posted it on the Internet; that is not true. CNN has falsely ridiculed Martin.

Hawai''i officials have now refuted Obama''s false assertion.

Martin''s victory in Honolulu will roil the final weekend of the presidential campaign. Internet chatter is expected to explode as the issue moves to the front page over Saturday and Sunday. Swing voters may be swayed by the exposure that Obama has brazenly been lying to the American people. "We just lobbed a grenade into the final weekend of the presidential campaign," says Andy.

"I am ecstatic. I called Obama a liar. I called Factcheck.org ''ObamaLies.org.'' I said CNN was sloppy and lazy and wrong. And I was right. The State of Hawai''i has now backed me up.

[dibs977]

When I received my "original" birth certificate from my home, all that meant was that it was embossed with a seal and that it was not a copy. It did not mean that I took the original from my home county. Splitting hairs. Just another example of stupidy from those "haters of otherness." Our greatness lies in that we are a melting pot--not homogenous. The right wing spouts ideas that are an anathema to anything truthful and honorable. Vote Obama!

I''m totally tired of hearing this argument of "Obama''s going to redistribute the wealth" They, then argue that people should work hard and wealth will come to them. Oh, please! This theory has failed us in the middle class miserably. There has been a redistribution of wealth in this country and it does not favor the middle class. Look at the numbers, american worker productivity has gone steadily up and wages and benefits have gone down. Meanwhile, the wealthiest have seen their wealth grow exponentially. I think McCain/Palin and crew are terrified that Obama and a democratic congress will adjust the playing field back to ''fair'' instead of the radical tilt its taken on in the past 8 years.
