Obama's bottom-up strategy
published: Thursday | November 6, 2008
Devon Dick Senator Barack Obama, President-elect of the United States (US), during the campaign and again in his victory speech reminded the listeners that when he started his campaign some 21 months ago he did not have any money or endorsements. That he defeated Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner and former First Lady, who had name recognition, money, and endorsements behind her, was monumental. And now to defeat John McCain, war hero extraordinaire and seasoned Senator, was truly remarkable. What was the main reason for the victory? It is not primarily because he is bright, knowledgeable, charismatic, thoughtful, calm and eloquent. It is much more than that. It is because he used a bottom-up strategy during his campaign and which informs his economic policies that gained traction with 66 million voters, a remarkable seven million more than McCain.
