Obama’s data advantage [Drudge Headline: "Obama Watching You"]
politico ^ | 6/9/12 | Lois Romano

Posted on 06/09/2012 8:12:10 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

On the sixth floor of a sleek office building here, more than 150 techies are quietly peeling back the layers of your life. They know what you read and where you shop, what kind of work you do and who you count as friends. They also know who your mother voted for in the last election.

The depth and breadth of the Obama campaign’s 2012 digital operation — from data mining to online organizing — reaches so far beyond anything politics has ever seen, experts maintain, that it could impact the outcome of a close presidential election. It makes the president’s much-heralded 2008 social media juggernaut — which raised half billion dollars and revolutionized politics — look like cavemen with stone tablets.

Some of this, no doubt, is psychological operations--an attempt to intimidate and create doubt among those of us who want to boot the Kenyan Communist.

I do think, though, BO's "campaign" now includes government resources not available to the other side--I believe Obama's perverted sense of ethics will allow his side to take private information (he won't consider it "private", since he is the Occupier of the White House) and use it for his advantage.

Obama can data mine all he wants... what’s he going to do, blackmail people into voting for him?

The only way he gets re-elected is through voter fraud.

Well then, Obama will know from the data that he is going to loose because people are sick of him and his communist crew.

My mother is dead and therefore has voted democrat for the past 12 years.

She votes, do you think she could at least call me on election day. Nope.
Nothing not a peep from her.

Who should I sue?

Him knowing how my mother voted, my shoe size or what I bought at Walmart isn’t going to help him gain my vote. My data isn’t valid to the question of who the candidate for POTUS is and if he’s going to preserve the good name and power of America. The entire world has known the answer to that for at least 3 years so that means all this data collection has NOTHING to do with the election.

One of these days, they’ll have it down to the point where they can identify the couple thousand or so voters that are needed to swing the election to their side.

They want a civil war so bad they can taste it. Beck was right. Don’t give them what they want. But it’s going to take a lot of patience. We’re dealing with evil at the top and the zombies who worship himm.

Obama;s hate list.

Absolutely!

How many states now have Voter ID in place? So, they can enact fraud in reliably donk states. Big whoop.

Also, we have all learned to ignore the ads on web pages, if we even see them because we have blocking programs.

So, we now know that his voters are slavishly following their Tweets and engaging in FB campaigns. How does that help them when they are tweeting to and friending the choir? I still get a very few liberal emails from clueless statists. I ignore them. They simply strengthen my own convictions.

This is all just a big circle jerk. I am so intimidated. Not.

They were already at that level in 2000 but did not have the means to plant the votes. Now, with the counting of votes farmed out to a Spanish company owned by George Soros, they have the means to do just what you imagine! It is not as difficult a task as folks might believe. we have network pundits who can recite the counties in given states where voting is crucial, and these same pundits have been following the voting patterns for decades and updating with new census registries. Even Karl Rove has a working memory of these seemingly too small a detailed aspects of the voting patterns. ... And that should scare the bejeebers out of true conservatives.

Yaknow, Mr. Obama, both our Moms passed away along time ago.

It would be a shock and a real shame to see that they were still voting.. but not a surprise considering the snake you&crew have been all along.

They also know who your mother voted for in the last election.

My mother was a Roosevelt Democrat, although she did vote for Goldwater in '64 (she did NOT like LBJ). I'm sure she's still voting Democrat, although she passed away 10 years ago.
