In each election I've paid attention to, I've heard ample stories of Democratic candidates simply rejecting offers of volunteer work because they had no infrastructure to give them anything to do. I thought, surely this would be different in 2004, but it wasn't. This story makes it sound like Obama's campaign is following the same pattern of not being configured to take advantage of volunteer work, but at least this time they're snatching up the volunteers.
