Obama email, this morning:
Today, we are filing papers to launch our 2012 campaign.
We’re doing this now because the politics we believe in does not start with expensive TV ads or extravaganzas, but with you — with people organizing block-by-block, talking to neighbors, co-workers, and friends. And that kind of campaign takes time to build.

Mind you, it’s made insurers a lot of money, so I guess we know which metric the Rethugs are using to decide…
