Even though Maryland is not a swing state in this presidential election, Obama volunteers in Maryland are still fired up. Volunteers such as the ones in the photo above have been gathered by the Obama campaign to help in traveling to their neighboring states of Virginia and Pennsylvania to spread GOTV efforts and encourage others to vote for Obama. The Baltimore Sun said, "The concept of exporting volunteers and resources to competitive states isn't new. But state political observers say the scale, the impact and the stakes have never been higher than this year". This statement is not surprising, where the Obama campaign has stepped up the levels of GOTV, advertising and fundraising in this election. Grassroots campaigning in these swing states is essential, and it is very smart for Obama's campaign to continue to make a presence in states like Maryland.
