This weekend, Organizing for America held what appears to be the first nationwide, more or less simultaneous volunteer training sessions where the express purpose was, more than a year past election day, to do something of an OFA course correction -- speeding up the conversion of the wide-ranging network of political supporters that coalesced around the Obama campaign into a trimmer but still potent fighting force for health care reform and the President's other legislative priorities. Some 200 of so sessions took place from coast to coast, according to OFA. Trainees included campaign veterans with on-the-ground experience -- Neighborhood Team Members (NTM) and Community Organizers (CO) and other volunteers -- as well as new supporters. Trainees revisited the snowflake model of community organizing (many hubs, many spokes). They also were encouraged by OFA organizers to maintain a "Matrix-like" flexibility in responding to the changing political climate, which is what the good folks in northwest Ohio above were practicing.

Obama himself made an appearance, in the form of a video. From the hashtag stream for the event at #dectraining, which you should feel free to wade into:
