Public Sticky notes
The results of Mr. Obama's decentralized Web effort were staggering: 8,000
Web-based affinity groups, 50,000 local events, 1.5 million Web volunteers, and
3.1 million donors who contributed almost $700 million. Republicans, Charlie
Cook reported on Nov. 3, believe their large but impersonal centralized
databases could not match the tacit knowledge, individual initiative and agility
of Mr. Obama's diffuse social networks.

These numbers don't simplye "happen"; what was the strategy? what was the content plan? who managed the timing? who created & distributed content? so much to learn about this campaign
A thought experiment, Mr. President-elect: What if as your campaign raised more and more money it was taxed away and given to Mr. McCain to level the field? Or think of this: What if you were not allowed to opt out of the public financing scheme that left Mr. McCain with a paltry $84 million, about a quarter of your autumn total?
