Obama's Technological Win

[FOTD]

This campaign will go down in history as won through understanding and utilizing technology. A friend tells me of attending several big Obama rallies where organizers would request everyone to text a phone number. From that connection, caucuses were organized, messages were sent, and a huge data base along with internet data collection was assembled. New networks have been assembled and activated. The Obama people know their strategies and their goals. Leaders. The past month they sat back and knew there were only two main events: Indiana and last weekends meetings saving themselves millions. They have a grasp on what it will take to win the most electoral votes through their data base and several technologically advanced methods.

Modern day thinkers perhaps?
"Isn't that the idea?"
It's no longer "yes we can."
"Here is now" be the battle cry.

Obamawan-kanobi!

We have hopeful illusion that Obama can take Oklahoma, but he is going to inspire a far bigger than usual Dem. turnout, and McCain isn't seeing much love here from Repubs.  Imagine this: Republicans have to spend lots of $$$ in Oklahoma, and we get Andrew Rice into the Senate to replace Jim Inhofe, who currently ranks at that institution's most mentally challenged... Things are looking good!

How Obama Did It

"Obama's campaign has been that rare, frictionless machine that runs with the energy of an insurgency and the efficiency of a corporation. His team has lacked what his rivals' have specialized in: there have been no staff shake-ups, no financial crises, no change in game plan and no visible strife. Even its campaign slogan — "Change we can believe in" — has remained the same. "


"Run the campaign with respect; build it from the bottom up; and finally, no drama."

"Meanwhile, Obama's Chicago headquarters made technology its running mate from the start. That wasn't just for fund raising: in state after state, the campaign turned over its voter lists — normally a closely guarded crown jewel — to volunteers, who used their own laptops and the unlimited night and weekend minutes of their cell-phone plans to contact every name and populate a political organization from the ground up. "The tools were there, and they built it," says Joe Trippi, who ran Howard Dean's 2004 campaign. "In a lot of ways, the Dean campaign was like the Wright brothers. Four years later, we're watching the Apollo project."


Obama will make a tremendous President, Commander in Chief, World leader. Don't fall for the same old dirty repiglicant campaign entrapments.

Rice doesn't have a chance.  When you mentioned mentally-challenged, I wanted to make a comment about the length of Rice's forehead, but I'll abstain.  Yet another rookie senator shafting his constituents trying to run for higher office.

Inhofe 60% Rice 40%.

Not even a race.

Obama's Wide Web
From YouTube to Text Messaging, Candidate's Team Connects to Voters

"Obama's online operation.
With less than three months to go before the election, Triple O is the envy of strategists in both parties, redefining the role that an online team can play within a campaign. "

"But you have to give credit where credit is due: Obama's Internet team is doing a hell of a job taking advantage of all these changes. They've basically leapfrogged not just the Clinton and McCain campaigns but also the mainstream media when it comes to reaching their supporters."

"Together, the videos on Obama's YouTube channel have been viewed nearly 52 million times, according to TubeMogul.com, which tracks online videos. A viewer watching a video on the channel has an option to click on a "Contribute" button and, using a credit card, donate an amount from $15 to $1,000 using Google Checkout. McCain's channel, whose videos have been viewed 9.5 million times, doesn't offer this option. "

"Texting is also playing a crucial role in the campaign's obsession with growing its database. Throughout last year, Goodstein sent at least a dozen texts to collect names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. Most important, the message came with "an ask," meaning users were asked to do something upon receiving it. "

"We were able to build a state-by-state organization during the primaries because of the Internet," says campaign manager David Plouffe. "Now we have to continue building on that -- in addition to making sure we keep getting our message across and asking our supporters to help us debunk any rumors and lies out there."



You think these patriots might have an idea how to get our government back on a track where it actually works for the people?
