Reflections 10/24

• Obama campaign has been strategically smart, but the ultimate test is Election Day
• Reaching out to faith based initiatives for gras roots purposes is very helpful
• Best way to ensure success of campaign is to make supporters feel a part of it
• It's a good idea for Obama to reach people in the Red states
• Obama has made people feel part of a movement rather than working for a campaign
• Interesting to see role of citizens in election
• I was unaware of using citizens' arrest as form of nonviolent protest
• The more concrete and specific nonviolent actions are, the better people can understand and join in
• Obama has successfully surrounded himself with a team of experts
