I'm a social media practitioner of sorts here in Austin, Texas, and an Obama Precinct Captain as well. I've been involved in and with political campaigns my whole adult life and you are absolutely right about how effective the Obama online campaign was. There were some occasions where the system slowed down due to high volume of use, but the site was interactive; the campaign made modifications in response to our input as we went. It was extremely effective in allowing for precinct captains and other volunteers to work out of their own homes or offices and be constantly connected to each other and the campaign. The time saved from going to the headquarters alone was tremendous. At my own precinct caucus, where Obama easily defeated Clinton, many, many people came up to me and told me they appreciated the personal touch of someone from the neighborhood calling them, another advantage of the Obama and Central Desktop operation. I could go on. With a couple of months to work, we could have won the state even with the last minute negative campaign tactics being used by the Clinton campaign. Watch out in Pennsylvania if the Obama campaign adjusts and learns and continues to use Central Desktop. Thank you for this post on the Obama campaign.

There was a question in an early debate when Obama was asked about running against Romney who has lots of business management experience. Obama contrasted the organizational success of his campaign versus the return on personal investment that Romney received and said he would be happy to have the debate on management effectiveness. Regardless of who you support in the campaign, here is a nice case for the effectiveness of enterprise and web 2.0. Bill Rob – Thanks and a good point.
