Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign is planning to unveil a "massive" voter registration drive, one that will reach all 50 states and seeks to boost confidence in him as a potential general election candidate.
A senior campaign official is expected to provide details about the effort in a conference call Friday with reporters.
But the candidate himself -- or his speechwriters -- apparently slipped up and included a reference to the effort in an address he gave to a union group in Chicago Thursday.
"That's why I'm so proud that today our campaign announced a massive volunteer-led voter registration drive in all 50 states to help ensure every single eligible voter takes part in this election so we can take back Washington for the American people," Obama said at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place.

Once the new president steps into 1400 Pennslyvania Ave, its a absolute guarantee that he/she will sign into law another AMNESTY. You, Me, Us, will be signing our own job death warrant, because we will be competing with between 12 to 30 million new immigrants. Nor will it stop there? Once the goodwill message gets out, hundreds of thousands will break our laws to get across our border. It is already happening if you read the hundreds of forums, bulletin boards that shows the disturbing outrage, of even teachers being pushed out. This is because more and more teachers who speak many languages need apply. That is just the tip of the iceberg!
We only have one chance, and one chance only! We must force our tainted Democrats to co-author the new Federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) Not only does it carry a very big stick, but it also adds more teeth to the conglomerations of state laws flooding the country.
We must stop the leading Democrats from gutting the border fence and we must they demand they get on board with the Federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088)
More than 10 million immigrants have arrived since year 2000; it is estimated that nearly 6 million are illegal. All told, the group of immigrants now account for 38 million at the moment according to the White House's own census bureau.
America cannot afford to enact another AMNESTY? The ramifications are unthinkable on each states economy? Taxpayers will have to support even more illegal immigrants as the word gets out and millions more will pour into our nation.
Keep calling your Democratic Congressmen today to co-author THE SAVE ACT! Toll free numbers include 18778516437 and 18662200044, or call toll 12022243121 AND REGISTER YOUR OUTRAGE at ongoing efforts to keep our country from enforcing its immigration laws! Read the unsuppressed truth about the Federal Save Act, that the special interest lobby doesn't want you know about!

This is an interesting concept. However Obama will never win the presidency..He will always have the Rev. Wright stigma attached to his name..I notice in the article he says "take back Washington"..After being programmed by Wright for 20 years perhaps his true feelings are " take over Washington"..I read on some other blogs that lots of votors are now considering if his true motive is to enslave the white race....Whos is Obama really??You should take time to explore this deeply and request that the media does the same...What you see is not what you always get...

The 300,000 new voters in PA didn't help him. What makes his team think a vote drive will help him?
The only thing that is going to save Obama from losing to McCain is some beef. What are his solutions to our problems? He hasn't given us a single solution. Obama says the Economy is bad. Obama says we have a crisis. But if you listen carefully, there is no solution he is proposing. How about hiring some experts on economics, energy, and foreign policies to give some legimacy to problem solving?
Plus, most poor people don't vote. They don't even have cars or can afford gas to go to the poll. Plus some are just too lazy. Some blacks stayed home that is why Obama lost in PA.

Obama is not an Elitist. Obama is just too nice of a guy to be a President. Being nice, means that people will start walking on you soon. So, he has to be willing to club the baby seals.
You can be reasonable but don't play nice to your opponents and enemies. The rest of the world is not going to listen to you, if you are a nice guy. Indeed, good ideas do die at the footstep of Congress because you have to understand how the sytems works and play the system; and don't let the system play you.
