The DNC is hoping First Lady Michelle Obama can drive Democrats to the polls before Election Day. The party is pushing Democrats to turn out early nationwide with a web initiative and video starring Obama.
Early voting has become a potential ray of sunshine in the Democrats’ cloudy electoral forecast. Early results have shown Democrats turning out in decent numbers so far, giving the party and its supporters hope that it might upset the narrative of big GOP gains the polls that the media have pre-written this year.
With the new Obama video and accompanying RaiseYourVote website, Democrats appear to be hoping to build on their early vote momentum.
Obama cast her own vote early in Illinois recently, and the DNC filmed the video shortly afterward.
