You are right, but what has changed? She can organize for free. She can put up organizational plans, organize precinct captains, direct call centers, and mailings online for free. She can have a small cadre of trusted supporters with her in the same room, and they can delegate from their laptops to people on the ground.
She doesn't need hundreds of local offices (saving tons of campaign money), she doesn't need mass printings (each area can tailor make mailings and send them locally, again saving money), and she sure doesn't need the media buys that other candidates will need for name recognition boosts, she can focus on media buys in areas that will bring in fence sitters.
She posts on Facebook that she needs $3 million for a media buy in South Carolina, and she will have $5 million in 24 hours. She tweets that she need 500 people to walk the streets of Manchester, New Hampshire, and she will have 1000 volunteers in hours.
She understands the power of social networking and it will save her tons of money and energy that others will devote to things that are no longer needed.
She must be running for President of Fantasyland.

Exactly. A lot of the naysayers here are so 2008.
A month and a half ago I had 10 followers on Twitter. I now have 600, all available for me to tweet to. And I guarantee by spring I will have thousands more, and I’m just one guy. I guaranteen I will be tweeting for Palin.
The Post Office is going bankrupt because mail pieces are down, people throw it in the trash. It’s a whole new ballgame.
