But how do we know this has anything to do with a specific Obama campaign lead GOTV effort? I could just as easily say that it was voter anger at obvious Republican suppression efforts, or Voter anger at other specific republican behaviors. Prove your case.
None of these can establish any causative link. There is no reason to suppose that the Walker recall is connected to general party partisanship. Many of the same people who voted for Obama may have not voted for the recall, because they have a specific feeling about when recalls are appropriate and when they are a waste of time (in the same way that people might agree with the sentiment of an amendment, but don't agree that the content should be part of an amendment)
And Bush 2004? Are you saying that the only reason Kerry didn't win in 2004 was because he did not have Obama's GOTV recipe?
