Michael Moore: Romney will win in November

41. There has already been a GOTV trial run for November

It happened in June during the WI recalls. OFA and many other national orgs were here. They held events and block parties with vans waiting to shuttle otherwise "unlikely" voters to/from the polls. This went on for many days leading up to election day taking advantage of early voting. Plenty of boots on the ground communicating the events through social media, or in disadvantaged neighborhoods less likely to be wired, actually going door-to-door.

End results aside, I think this is the type of tactic that will work. Less money was spent on ads because the polls showed there were few undecided voters out there to flip. The pres election seems to be shaping up in a similar fashion. The diverted money was put into getting more boots on the ground and funding the events and necessary transportation to get people to the polls.
