Hillary Clinton has a massive fundraising advantage. She's using it to leave no vote to chance.

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-clinton-campaign-playbook-20160920-snap-story.html

Hillary Clinton is using her fundraising dominance to unleash all manner of modern voter tools that Donald Trump’s organization is too cash-poor, disorganized or uninterested in to use — but are they worth the massive price tag?

The question will be argued until election day, and probably for years after. But one thing clear right now is the Clinton campaign is leaving nothing to chance. Launching apps that track the movements of paid canvassers and organizing poetry slams to build camaraderie in field offices, the Clinton operation is in the final frenzy of assembling some of the most sophisticated campaign infrastructure ever.

It is building on the hallowed playbook written by President Obama’s campaign teams, implementing technological advancements that enable field organizers to find, track and prod potential voters with even more precision and efficiency.

Clinton’s approach is a stark contrast from Trump’s. He left field organizing in the hands of a Republican National Committee that must incorporate Trump into its broader effort on behalf of down-ballot candidates often at odds with the nominee.

I apologize a bit for posting a small "blitz" of HRC-related articles today. I am a bit tired of seeing even DU be dominated by Trump coverage, even though it is usually the negative coverage - and with some great spoofs, etc.

Hillary and her campaign are all working their tails off for US! It is good to remember that.
