And of course conservatives are completely helpless.

Just what big tweak did zero pull off?

It was more like stacking the vote in certain precincts more than knowing that I said he could eff himself.

“Just what big tweak did zero pull off?”

I see great power in what he could do. Say a voter does a Google search on windmills....for the next few days he gets sidebar ads from the campaign about green energy.

Say somebody goes to local sites, looking for where to vote....how about a personalized e-mail from the campaign, not only telling where the site is, but also offering to drive them to the polls.

I have some old high school classmates with very complex voting patterns. One is a Ron Paul fan...so he’s pro-gun, but also very much opposed to our entry into Iraq and Afghanistan. Another is a ‘married’ lesbian, who fiercely supports our military and the 2nd amendment. Google could track the posting history (and reading history) of people like this, so the campaign can find their ‘hot buttons’ and cater ads to their narrow issues.

Or the algorithm could discover that a town in Ohio needs a new bridge, by tracking posts and news articles. The campaign could toss a little federal dollars their way, complete with the Obama logo sign next to the project.

The possibilities are endless really.
