The Coordinated Campaign is actually coordinated

In DFL politics, everyone knows that the coordinated campaign, which is supposed to get all the campaigns at all levels to work together, usually fails and often miserably. The saying goes "it's neither coordinated nor a campaign.". Another older saying goes "I'm not a member of an organized political party, I'm a Democrat." But that was the past. In 2008 the campaigns are actually working all together. It's unheard of.

In my neck of the woods, DFL State House candidates Bobby Joe Champion (58B) and Jeff Hayden (61B) are getting help from the Obama, Franken and Ellison campaigns. In turn they are helping out the larger campaigns. A lot of credit goes to the Ellison campaign staff who want to explode the vote in MN-05. They are working hard at getting high voter turnout to help Obama, Franken and intentionally including all the State House candidates in Keith's district.

This Sunday marks 100 days out from election day. To celebrate they're coordinating a massive doorknock.

This Sunday, July 27 marks 100 days until the election. That's 100 days left to talk with as many Minnesotans as possible about our candidates, our values and our vision for our state and country.

I’m asking you to join us on July 27 as we hold a Statewide Day of Action with 100 doorknock locations around Minnesota. With your help, on Sunday we can have 1,000 volunteers across Minnesota delivering our message of change to thousands more people in their neighborhoods.
