"So, the end result was that 30,000+ of the most active and fired-up volunteers were wandering around confused and frustrated when they could have been doing anything else to help. Like driving people to the polls, phone-banking, walking door-to-door, etc. We lost by fairly small margins in Florida, Virginia, Ohio and Colorado. If this had worked could it have closed the gap? I sure hope not for my sanity's sake.

"The bitter irony of this entire endeavor was that a supposedly small government candidate gutted the local structure of GOTV efforts in favor of a centralized, faceless organization in a far off place (in this case, their Boston headquarters). Wrap your head around that."

Yeah, what Romney failed to do in his statistics was to factor in all the illegal votes.

Sounds like standard m-o for a corporate businessman. Not saying I have a problem with business experience, but it's worth noting here.

I’ve been in IT over twenty five years and it is inevitable that the system will always crash at the worst possible time and you must TEST, TEST, TEST and re-TEST. As for me, I always have an old fashioned method as a fallback. Paper and pencil are slower, but much more reliable.

Meg Whitman also tried same software and same approach and she also failed.
Main problem is GOTV. Obama campaign use census data and voted absentee for those who avoid voting and rest showed up.

GOP trust machine interaction than combination. They should increase registration and change RNC chairman.

“but one of the biggest was the epic failure of the campaign’s big-data app for getting out the vote, called Orca. “

Let’s stop the crap. Romney lost because Buckwheat’s lying, cheating, vote-stealing machine was very good.

This stupid story is nothing more than disinformation to throw us off the track. So let’s deposit it in the trash can where it belongs.
