Rumors fly over Obama JJ turnout

Seems like many folk are not able to accept the exceptionable organization displayed by the Obama campaign at the important Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Iowa.

Often a turning point in presidential campaigns, this year's JJ dinner was owned by Obama according to all reports. About a third of the crowd was for Obama and they were generally the best prepared group.

Now, all kinds of suggestions have been circulating that Obama organized supporters from his neighboring home state of Illinois to create a false impression of his Iowa support.

Now, people who spend considerable time at barackobama.com and particularly at his Illinois-dedicated page might have a hard time believing that thousands of supporters were secretly ordered to Iowa to pack the JJ event.

However, it has to be scary to Obama's opponents to think that Obama has real organized support of that type in Iowa. Winning caucuses in that state is about sending trained teams of campaigners to stump for your candidate at the meetings in which people decide who to support.
