Okay, here's the scenario I hope you will brainstorm, critique about, improve upon, and more.
Scenario:
Meticulous coverage, door to door in a major urban area of a medium size city, with over 110,000 single family units in an important caucus and or primary state. The specific state has motivated volunteers and good leadership. But they too have lives to lead in addition to operating a multi-tasked campaign and should not reasonably be expected to handle epic tasks by themselves.
The Door to Door Plan: Because the city is of sufficient size, it is divided into a quadrant. The four sectors of the quadrant become areas of responsibility for the adjoining states and their meetup volunteer groups. There are at least two states assigned per quadrant.
Some quadrant assigned states may have differing views of how best to tackle their assigned area of responsiblity. That is fine, it could lead to creativity and more efficient and complete coverage.
Here is one plan, for example, by state X.
X keeps track of names and cell telephone numbers of volunteers transiting into the urban quadrant. A group of three volunteers, two women and one man, initially arrives on the ground in the assigned quadrant. After arising from their hotel or campsite, they meet for an early lunch. At lunch, they study the city map, and decide to begin from the intersection of the axis of x and y and work outward. Deciding that they will find more people home later in the day, they decide to walk neighborhoods from 2pm until 8pm. They decide to all meet for a late dinner and compare notes, noting the specific street and address numbers covered, (i.e., 001-1407 Webster Ave, all even and odd addresses, etc).
They in-turn email or fax the numbered street addresses, and any heretofore uncovered RPaul supporters, to a meetup monitor who then posts the street #s completed to a website, and forwards the RP supporter data to the appropriate local volunteer in the city.
This initial group continues to meet everyday for lunch to plan the day.
Another volunteer arrives and joins the three initial volunteers,and the four plan their day of neighborhood walking. They repeat the sequence; they meet for dinner, compile their days result and fax or email results to the monitor. The website is updated.
Three more volunteers arrive a day later, they meet up with the four volunteers who are still there. The seven volunteers meet for lunch, study the map, plan the day, and repeat as noted above. The first four volunteers depart for their home state. The three recent voluteers continue to follow a similiar sequence and so the situation goes.
In this scenario, it is asked that each quadrant, at the end of it's daily activities, compile the street#s completed and the RP supporters discovered and faxed or emailed to the monitor. The website page now begins to show growing completion of a door to door campaign.
As one quadrant gets completed or nearly filled, volunteers from those states could be flowed into quadrants that could use the assistence.....etc etc etc.
Now your comments please, questions, improvements, critiques..........let it begin!
