The cavernous open-plan headquarters of Barack Obama's re-election campaign houses over 300 workers seated in serried rows, jabbering into phones and tapping purposefully at computer keyboards. Yet this hive of electioneering is only the most visible manifestation of a campaign that has been gathering steam for over a year now, as a spokesman explains. Obama 2012 has over 100 offices spread across nearly every state (they seem particularly proud of their outpost in fiercely Republican Wyoming). In Florida, a perennial swing state, it has 18. Some 700 staffers and thousands of volunteers are already at work for the campaign. Fully 12,000 people applied for the 1,200 internships the campaign offered this spring. In some respects, the effort appears to be paying off. The campaign says it has held nearly 30,000 events around the country in the past year, the vast majority of them small, local affairs. It has received donations from 500,000 more people than it had at this stage of the race in 2008, and 55% of donors had never given to Mr Obama before.
