Substantial differences of style mark the campaign offices from which Republicans urge Mitt Romney supporters to vote, and those used by Democratic volunteers for President Barack Obama. Beyond style, a difference of strategy divides the campaigns. A recent tightening of the race involved a surge among Republican-leaning independents, who are more certain to vote and are following the contest more closely than their Democratic equivalents, polls suggest. The Romney ground game involves building on that momentum and widening that intensity gap. In contrast, the Obama plan is about mobilisation, and adding Democratic-leaning voters (Hispanics, blacks and young people) to the pool of those who will actually cast ballots. A week before election day, some 18m Americans had voted already. President Obama has emphasised early voting, allowed in many states, as a way for poorer Democrats to fit voting into busy lives. Each side offers evidence that its ground game is winning. The Obama camp points to its advantage in field-office numbers: more than 800 nationwide, or more than twice the Republican number.
