In a press release, Obama's campaign manager Jim Messina predicted that the national co-chairs "will be tremendous assets on the ground as we build the biggest grassroots campaign in history." I wouldn't count on much help from Miller there. His 2010 re-election campaign had no grassroots operation whatsoever. He didn't even have a campaign website up until September of the election year, and his first advertising appeared a few weeks before the election.
The Obama campaign is hiring organizers for the spring, summer, and fall in Iowa and many other states. I am seeking comment about where the organizers will be assigned to work in Iowa. CORRECTION: Bleeding Heartland user albert point out in the comments that this listing is for unpaid internships. My understanding is that the Obama campaign is also hiring paid field organizers for Iowa, and I will update this post with further details when available.
