Obama Campaign Update

Here's the latest update from the Barack Obama campaign, via the email update:

"A week from tomorrow could be the decisive day in this campaign.

We started behind in the two biggest states that will vote on March 4th, Ohio and Texas, but as we spend time on the ground, we are gaining strength.

But that's nothing new for us. We have started as the underdog in just about every state. And thanks to a growing movement of support from ordinary people across the country, we came from behind and won the last 11 contests in a row.

We can do this again.

It's not going to be easy -- attacks from our Democratic opponent and the presumptive Republican nominee are growing more frequent and more desperate. And the size of these two states will require unprecedented energy and resources to organize supporters and persuade undecided voters.

But we're within striking distance of our goal of one million people owning a piece of this campaign by March 4th, and every single person getting involved makes a difference.

Now is the time to step up and make your first donation. If you give as part of our matching program, a previous donor will double your impact by matching your gift.

We're within reach of this extraordinary goal for the same reason we've come from behind to unexpectedly win 26 out of 37 contests so far.

We're succeeding because our campaign has always been about bringing new people into the process.

Thanks to you, we're on the verge of history. Please do what you can to see this through.

Thank you,

Barack

P.S. -- Beginning this Saturday, March 1st, we're holding a One Million for Change canvass across Ohio as a lead up to their primary on March 4th. This canvass will be a great opportunity to reach out to Ohio voters, talk about why you are a part of this movement, and remind them to vote on Primary Day. I hope you'll take part.
