President Barack Obama’s domestic agenda and the fight for a Massachusetts Senate seat rest on one thing: which side does a better job at maximizing turnout of core supporters.
This morning voters swarmed the polls in contrast to the light turnout for the party primaries last month.
Both campaigns to succeed the late Edward Kennedy are mounting extreme efforts to boost turnout, putting millions of dollars into advertising and flooding neighborhoods and phone lines with canvassers.
"The polls are still open, the choice has not been made and you still have a crucial role to play by calling voters in Massachusetts," wrote President Obama "In a low-turnout special election like this one, every single voter counts. In a race as close as this one, no matter how many voters you call, you could tip the balance."
