Microtargeting Boosts Turnout for Chafee in R.I. Primary

At the risk of beating a dead horse clean into the ground, behind-the-scenes, database-driven microtargeting gives the Republicans a massive advantage in turning out their voters and picking off persuadable independents. Jim VandeHei and Chris Cillizza’s article in today’s Post on turnout-boosting operations in the Rhode Island Republican Senate primary is a must-read for campaign operatives. Is the DNC is paying very, very close attention? All the favorable polls in the world won’t help if the other guy’s supporters show up to vote and yours don’t.

Event Reminder: Social Media/Social Networking Book Release and Panel Discussion Friday

Hey kids! Don’t forget tomorrow’s panel discussion at the Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet on using social networking sites and social media/user-generated content for political organizing. It’s tied to the release of IPDI’s latest publication, Person-to-Person-to-Person: Harnessing the Political Power of Social Networks and User-Generated Content. Rumor has it that they chose my chapter to lead off the book…my mom is very proud.
