NPR: Obama Backers Return To Streets To Push Plans

President Obama's grass-roots political machine has been reactivated for a weekend door-knocking crusade designed to sell the administration's economic plan -- and its record-busting $3.6 trillion budget.

Volunteers don't have a candidate to sell, as they did before, and no Election Day end date on which to focus.

No; Bigfoot and Nessie didn't make the cut either.
