Obama Pushes Registration

BFCE. Ground game, ground game, ground game. All this while McPalin sounds like a daycare teacher with an attitude in Florida.

Today is the voter registration deadline in swing states with a large African-American population -- Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia -- so Obama kicked off the morning by appearing on two popular black radio shows: the Steve Harvey Show and then the Tom Joyner Show, where he spoke with Roland Martin.

Both hosts implored listeners to register to vote before and after the interviews, and Obama said that everyone should visit voteforchange.com, the website his campaign has set up to make voter registration easy -- anyone listening on the Tom Joyner website was greeted with a pop-up video ad for the site.

Harvey asked Obama if it was true that a small uptick in the African-American vote could've won the election in 2004. "The African-American vote can be a game-changer in all sorts of states. In Florida, in Indiana, in North Carolina, in Ohio," Obama responded. "I just want people to look at the numbers."

Martin asked Obama what he would say to people who think Obama's ahead and they don't need to vote. "You need to get on a website, voteforchange.com," he said. "We can't sit on the sideline, the time is too important."
