My Oh My Obama: Texas Field Ops Organized by Wikis


March 4th, 2008 by Sterling Hager


Short note today… wicked busy. It's raining. I want to get home and watch the primary election returns. Been here since 6am. Meanwhile, for you other political junkies and social media fanatics like me, here's a story to hold you over. By Josh Catone at ReadWriteWeb, it is entitled, "How the Barack Obama Campaign Uses Wikis to Organize Volunteers."

Couple of questions for you: 1.) How is it that politicians get this stuff ahead of most corporate types? 2.) Do pollsters factor in this sort of online organization when calculating potential outcomes? 3.) If I can go take a look at this site via the link provided in the story by Mr. Catone, can Mr. Obama's political rivals go in and roam about, too, and, if so, does anyone care?

This is the most interesting national primary campaign season I can recall ever, and I go back a ways to when Warren Harding was running. Remember him?

OK, have to run. But if you have any answers to these questions, come forth and be heard.
