As a techie and political junkie it has astonished me how far behind the times campaigns were in data-mining, CRM (customer relations management/voter or donor management)
I've heard really good things about Romney's program. I hope the other campaigns get on this.

I was recently asked to evaluate SalesForce’s capabilities in my capacity as a marketing consultant for a small company. SF’s offerings are uniquely well suited to an operation where field sales folks are computer dopes.

Sounds like political campaigns to me...

I use an excellent Open Source “copycat” that in some ways exceeds Salesforce.com capabilities - sugarcrm www.sugarcrm.com

Downside for campaigns - how safe is your data hosted on someone elses platform and systems?

As a current Salesforce.com client, all I can say is...no comment. My mother always told me that if you don’t have yadda yadda yadda...don’t say them.
