The Ground Game

By The Daily Dish

Sean Quinn reports from Missouri:

You could take every McCain volunteer we’ve seen doing actual work in the entire trip, over six states, and it would add up to the same as Obama’s single Thornton, CO office. Or his single Durango, CO office. These ground campaigns bear no relationship to each other.

Sean tried to talk to McCain staffers but he has found, as we all have, that the McCain-Palin campaign simply won't deal with the press, refuses to answer questions, suspects all reporters, and denies all access except to ideological right-wingers. They seem to have a policy of no access, no contact and no respect. They are at war with the press.
