Obama aides: We're winning
On a conference call that reminds me a bit of those calls David Plouffe would hold in the primary to insist (accurately, it turns out) that Obama had already won, Obama aides told reporters that their position is extremely strong.
In particular, national field director Jon Carson made the case that he is already winning meaningfully in the early votes, and offered some statistics against the argument that these are people who would have voted early anyway and are just casting their ballots with extra enthusiasm.
"A higher percentage of our vote is new Democrats and we have a lot more new Democrats," he said, going over totals in North Carolina, Nevada, Florida and Iowa that seem to suggest that new and sporadic voters are voting at high rates.
