From Politico, a story that tells you how good this campaign is:
But the Illinois senator remains a community organizer at heart, and the multitiered football stadium had been converted into its own meritocracy to entice campaign volunteers.
Delegates and their guests did their best, of course, with floor seats or at the 50-yard line. But closer to the end zone, volunteers who had performed at least six hours of work in a prescribed period were rewarded with tickets. And those who made at least 10 calls from stadium phone banks to urge outsiders to turn on their television sets to see Obama had a chance to move up closer under an elaborate lottery system.
Obama's communication director, Dan Pfieffer, said that 10 people were chosen to go back and meet Obama as part of a separate e-mail contest, and the 100 winners of the afternoon phone bank lottery got to sit on the floor, front and center.
"This event is a tribute people who didn't get here because they have a buddy who is a major donor," said Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama, an early Obama supporter
