From Plouffe's
video (text

We've got an enormous opportunity to win back Bush
States. Why is that? Well, it starts with Barack Obama's appeal.
He's got appeal across the country with independent voters. We
think we're going to be able to create historic turnout in the
African American community and with younger voters, but also with
the organization that you have built. The reason that we think we
can be competitive in Georgia, North Dakota, Alaska, North
Carolina, is because you guys built a tremendous organization
on the ground and we've got to build on that.
Ever been pitched by a pyramid ... er, multi-tiered
marketing promoter? "You guys built a tremendous organization"
in states we've got a snowball's chance of actually winning Nov. 4,
but "we've got to build on that," so please send money!
It may be totally legit, but to street-smart ears, it sounds
like a hustle.
