The Obama campaign continues to dazzle me with the strategic and tactical brilliance of the people recruited to manage it. Just think about it: Innovative uses of the Internet to attract donors and activists on an unprecedented scale; grass roots organizing–the 50-state strategy plus full court press in now increasingly purple states that used to be safe for the opposition; and now celebrity journalism, too, using People magazine to introduce the Obamas to people in check-out lines at supermarkets (in my case at the HEB supermarket at Staples and Saratoga in Corpus Christi, TX, where the woman in front of me picked up the issue and scanned the story).
