This is the very thing that led me to support Obama in the 2008 primaries, and I am incredibly pleased to hear that his organizing has only gotten better.  The more people that are brought into the political system and trained in its operations, the more chance that American Democracy has to pull out of its death spiral.  Only sustained and widespread political participation can defeat the bastards on the other side, and despite his many other faults, Obama's organization has no peer in its ability to train and mobilize volunteers - and in the process turn a good number of them into serious activists.
