Where's My Freaking Obama Bumper Sticker, Plouffe?

Crabs in a barrel (4.00 / 1)

Why do Democrats/Progressives act like crabs in a barrel when we get in a good place?  You're complaining about missing bumper stickers and this is front-page stuff?  Come on.

By the way, I walked into the Manchester office the other day and got myself a dozen Obama bumperstickers as soon as I asked.  They are now all on cars.  

They had signs too.  And all sorts of lapel stickers for different constituency groups.

Damn, I just gave my free one away (0.00 / 0)

I had gotten a free one in the mail from MoveOn, but I gave it to a friend from Ireland who lives in Boston to put on her car.  (Already have my Women for Obama sticker on my car that's been there since June 2007), and I have my big circle O's left over from the 100 Club Dinner, in the back window of my car... which my husband says is a driving hazard (probably is).

I'm glad that the campaign has better things to do than drive bumper stickers from Manchester to wherever they're out of bumper stickers.

I ordered some stuff, too, my $50 Obama-Biden "starter kit," t-shirt, bumpa sticka, yard sign, etc... got a very nice email that with the huge response, they're a bit overlogged.  I'd rather have that problem any day!  You can have my yard sign when I get it...we live on a cul-de-sac and all my neighbors pretty much ALREADY know who I'm voting for.

sometimes the occasional Shaheen sign, and some have Obama signs saved from the primary.

But Sununu and McCain are everywhere, as where the CD2 primary candidates.  Would someone tell Clegg to remove his signs?

I know I don't live in a population-rich area, but I am right on the cusp between the CT-river Howard Dean democrat to my west and the established Bradley-esque Lakes region Republicans to the east of me. A real swing zone. I'm in what should be Obama territory, given the trends, but right now it looks like GOP-ville in signage.

And apparently Obama and McCain are at parity in media buys in NH.  How come with such a huge financial advantage on our side?  These 4 EVs could make all the difference; they have before.

That is the beauty of a true grassroots organization... (4.00 / 1)

Everyone is empowered to lead the effort in their own area Dean. For years I have heard complaints about how paid staff ignored the grassroots organizations, so for the past year and a half we have trained, encouraged and empowered the locals to take the lead themselves.

Do we really need paid staff to find sign locations, put them up and monitor them or can we do it ourselves? I think we can! With votebuilder every local committee has all the tools at their disposal that they would need to be a highly effective operation. And with the ability to buy signs and other such supplies online - every local organization can have all they need without having to beg from the state or national office. One pie sale or passing of the hat should do it.

I have great faith in the power of the grassroots.

Every Four Years.... (4.00 / 6)

This is a problem every four years.  In 2004, I personally bought 1000 Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers off the internet because so many people were yelling at me about bumper stickers.  I thought one county chair was going to mug me when I made the mistake of saying I had a few hundred in my car.  One day I was talking to then Republican National Committeeman Tom Rath and said "my god, people are screaming at me for lawn signs" and he said, "me, too, it is always a problem."  

Anyway, we on the ground always want signs and bumper stickers, while the national campaign is trying to keep to a budget. Elwood, it isn't a sign of incompetence; it is a sign of a campaign that is keeping to its monthly line item. If you know anyone who is thinking of making a donation to the campaign, ask them to consider buying some signs and bumper stickers to give to the field office. My stepson just bought a few dozen bumper stickers to give to his buddies. He's in Massachusetts, and he knows that they aren't getting any campaign materials down there. Those Manchester materials just arrived; a little over a week ago they didn't have much of anything.    

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

for a bumper sticker when I went in. I've read that's often true for the national campaigns today though at the state level campaigns don't dare. But that wasn't an option - there were none available for free or for money.

Perhaps the national campaign is saying "We can't give these away" and the local organizations are saying "we must give these away" with nobody funding the printing at all?

I wouldn't object to a campaign announcing "We don't think bumper sticker or lawn signs work, so we won't use them."

But until a campaign says that, it had better figure out how to manage this basic function.

Elwood, when Obama says "this election is about you, not me" (0.00 / 0)

he doesn't mean you specifically.  Bumper stickers really do absolutely nothing for the campaign, so there's no reason you should care.  You know this already.

It's also important to remember that any billion-dollar company (which, lest we forget, is what this is) is going to have customer relations snafus.  A field office not having bumper stickers may not actually portend a terrible organization, regardless of whether you're ticked off enough to wish that it were.

The campaign can't have it both ways. (4.00 / 1)

It can't say "bumper stickers really do absolutely nothing for the campaign" and yet pay to have them designed and distributed.

Yes I'm skeptical about their value, but I'm also skeptical about the value of other traditional campaign methods including most of the phone work.

"Half of what we do is a complete waster of time - but we don't know which half." I assume the case for bumper stickers and yard signs is two-fold: having them draws people into the campaign HQ, binding them more closely; and having people see them on more cars and lawns gives the candidate an appearance of momentum that can increase turnout.

If a campaign is going to use them, it should really try to get it right. I agree that running out of bumper stickers is no sign of a bad organization, and can happen in a well-run profitable company. But not knowing when you will have more? Not being able to say "Come back two weeks from now"? That's a different matter.

Advertisers don't pay. (4.00 / 1)

You're right, Jim.

Though I can go on about all the reasons that Kathy is TOTALLY right about taking ownership of the campaign, there is some cognitive dissonance about buying a bumper sticker or a yard sign.

Seems like a small thing, but the idea just doesn't "compute" in the minds of most.

You want me to PAY to advertise for you?

Then again, Barack is asking us to advertise, not for him, but for a vision of America. Let's not forget, Barack has been called by the "fierce urgency of now." Come Nov. 5th, if McSame pulls it off, the Obama's can prosper. They will be sad, but their checkbook will be in the black.

Not so for me.

Buying some stickers to advertise for an America that will ensure that me, mine and those like us get a fair shake. Remember it is about us and we have to much to lose.

One of the disconnects for me is the difference between presidential campaigns and the lower-level campaigns (state rep / state senate / town office) I sometimes get involved in, which BEG people to take stickers or signs. It's the second question after "Will you make phone calls?"

As a Mass. voter, I expect to be told to go to hell, or at least online, if I want stuff. I don't expect to be catered to. But Elwood, a NH voter, making a special trip to the Keene office? (I think it was Keene.) He ought to get one.

I agree that availability is the bigger issue, not payment. However, Abercrombie and others create demand for their product through advertising which its customers do not pay for. I suppose you could argue that they pay for it after the fact, but that would be specious in this context.

And besides, advertising can only go so far as an analogy. We're talking about an election, a public event, but with a secret ballot. People who stand up for the campaign are helping it, and therefore, in an ideal world, should not have to pay to do so.

But I'm not trying to be cheap, and in the end I agree with the "bigger priorities" argument. On to victory.

A friend of mine, a longtime Obama supporter, said that she and a lot of people she knew had been rebuffed when they were looking for lawn signs. I told her I had been too.

This is simply not acceptable in a state that relies so much on an all-politics-is-local approach. And it is not acceptable for a campaign that has raised so much money to be so poorly organized.

All I see is a forest of Republican signs, here in Concord, Hopkinton, Bow. If lawns are any guide, it looks like a landslide for the Republicans. This is a problem that must be fixed before low-information voters start thinking about voting.  It isn't helping my morale much, either.

---

by: michael57 @ Thu Sep 18, 2008 at 13:17:55 PM CDT

It Is Acceptable (4.00 / 2)

Your friend and all the people she know who want signs should go to http://store.barackobama.com/  and order signs and bumper stickers.  If you disagree with the campaign's current budget priorities, this is one area that she and you can do something about. It is $8 for a sign. If there are people who can't afford it, then get some people to pool resources and buy some extras. But this is not a case of poor organization, it is a case of campaign budget priorities.  I'd rather have a voter persuasion radio ad campaign right now than a gotv visibility effort.

I get that, I am not concerned for Obama. If his people keep on doing what they're doing, keep on working hard, he's going to win. It'll be close, but he's going to win. Worry will not change this.

That, I am not concerned with. What i'm concerned with is winning all the other races, and what i'm concerned about is that people are giving Obama money that he does not need while there are literally thousands of other candidates who do need it or could use it.

I'm not too concerned about that either, hard work solves everything, but knowing there's enough money out there and that the money is being used to win the election makes things easier.
