Zennie was a Friend of Mine: Obama supporter covers the California HillStars program
Okay. I lied. Zennie is not a friend of mine.
I haven’t even met the guy.
I’m guessing after this video, he’ll be no friend of the Clinton campaign (including my old pal Mike Trujillo, their California Field Director).
With all of this, it still pales in comparison to the hundreds of online groups and members of BarackObama.com who are in California. What HillStars is has been in place for a long time, but only recently honed by an effort called “Camp Obama” which is already in motion nationwide. With little effort, the Obama forces could clobber Hillary Clinton in California.
Oh and that Field Poll of “Democratic Voters most likely to vote” that reports Clinton’s “lead” — don’t bet on any poll that has a sample size of just 419 people and talks to a small set folks who voted in the 2004 election. There are several problems with this step, amoung them, YouTube didn’t exist in 2004. So all of these polls of “most likely to vote” Democrats — including the rigged USA Today /Gallup Poll of June 17th — totally miss the new netroots. If a person just turned 18 that year, and didn’t vote, they’re now 22 years old, ready to vote, and consume the majority of their information online.
Senator Clinton, beware! ( Zennie’s Zeitgeist: HillStars – The Detailed Playbook On Senator Clinton’s California Campaign)
Now the tracker/muck-raker/opposition researcher in me wonders where he got the documents? Did he surreptitiously infiltrate one of the many HillStars trainings held so far in California? Trainings like the one in the Clinton blog post below:
Hillary Clinton’s California campaign today drew over 150 new volunteers for a day-long training to become the elite HillStars. These volunteers have committed to work continuously from July to February 5, to identify and to get out to vote 2 million Hillary Clinton supporters in California. HillStars are responsible for holding a house party to recruit, train and manage California Hillary Corps members, who will be talking to millions of California voters. In San Francisco, HillStar volunteers came from as far away as Fresno, Milpitas and Stockton. In Los Angeles, volunteers came from as far away as Santa Barbara and Orange County. (HillaryClinton.com: California Launches Aggressive Field Program)
However he got his hands on them, I’m guessing the next HillStars training will include at least a quick pat-down – if not a body cavity search – to see if any potential moles are doing their best Sandy Berger imitation.
