Jarvis and Instapundit are, I think, jumping overboard on this.

As someone who has been involved in efforts both political and nonpolitical involving volunteers, there's no substitute for additional paid help. You augment your efforts with paid help - you don't replace your volunteers with paid help. Both the political parties do it. The Dems just have a longer history of it. Anyone who has worked with volunteers in anything understand the different problems that arise that cannot be remedied with paid help. If you're paying someone, the threat of termination is always there. If they're working for free, well, you can't just fire them. They'll find something else to work on, because what they're doing is not their job.

Just like taxes - if you want to pay more of your money to the government, no one is stopping you. Likewise, if you want to work for a campaign for free, no one is stopping you.
