On my wall, I have a quote from Pat Summit (the Tennessee women’s basketball coach) describing her theory of victory. “Here’s how I’m going to beat you,” she says. “I’m going to outwork you. That’s it.” And any team that plays Tennessee knows that’s usually what happens–they just flat get outworked on the court.

Now here is a photograph of the Obama headquarters in my district last Saturday. There is a line–out the door–of people waiting to get their canvas packages.

I have never seen people work this hard for any candidate. And, like Pat Summit, I believe all that hard work is going to pay off.
