Public Sticky notes
Over the past year,
the Obama campaign has quietly worked to integrate the online
technologies that fueled the rise of Howard Dean —as well as
social-networking and video tools that didn't even exist in 2004
— with the kind of neighbor-to-neighbor movement-building
that Obama learned as a young organizer on the streets of Chicago.
"That's the magic of what they've done," says Simon Rosenberg,
president of the Democratic think tank NDN. "They've married the
incredibly powerful online community they built with real
on-the-ground field operations. We've never seen anything like this
before in American political history."

That's never happened before. It never was possible
before."
