How do you know a politician’s ground game sucks? He has to pay people to play the part of “supporter.”
Pennsylvania State Rep. Kevin Boyle (D) is looking for supporters for a day. Stand at a Philadelphia polling location, wave a sign (probably, the email doesn’t enumerate specific duties), and you too could receive $120 plus free lunch and an invite to an open-bar at the end of the day.

Political theater, indeed.
