All the data-mining in the world cannot guarantee who someone selects in a voting booth.

If he were an unknown or a candidate with a decent track record, yes. But his negatives are such that all this info is useless in overcoming his core failures.

He would literally have to ‘custom threaten’ exposure of this personal info for every person there’s data on. Otherwise, a pile of info on your shopping habits at Target aren’t going to help overcome the reality of the O admin.

It shows the extent to which he’ll go to know who his friends and enemies are. Combined with the abuse of power he’s shown its not a good thing.

They can data mine me until their computer freezes and they won’t find a way that would make me vote for Zero.

"I'm not a techie at all. Is this important?"

It is a complete waste of time, but don't tell ZERO.
I once was a techie, but me brain started hurting trying to keep up.

“I’m not a techie at all. Is this important?”

It just boils down to targeted marketing. Poor products will need a good pitch. It also indicates the Democrats do not have the blank checks to write as they did last time. The may even end up trailing the “Massachusetts moderate”* GOP.

*A great example of marketing a poor product right there.

Again, Drudge or foreign news breaks the story. Domestic media silent. This should alarm everyone, at the very least it's a breach of personal privacy. Does anyone think that all than data is deleted after the campaign?

Hi Im barak Obama and I am the reason why you are still living at home after you graduated college and there are no jobs avaialble to you, but dont worry I have plenty of food stamps on hand as well as a 99 week unemployment program for those who were lucky enough to have had a job but lost it and oh yeah dont forget SSI, disability, welfare and all the other fine dependent programs I have in place for you. So remember to vote for me. Remember hope and change is coming your way.

I have yet to get an email or snail mail from the Obomba campaign. I guess they’ve already given up on me as a voter.

As a future detainee, however, I’m sure that I’m already on THAT list.

At some point it gets to saturation. Much of what`s out there on YouTube is prefaced by an Obama commercial. Users want the video they`re seeking, not yet another 60 seconds of 0bama.

So, they canspend all the $$$ they want on this, but it`ll come to very little.

BUT...even with all the information on us, what we know about OBozo, and his 3+ years in office, is a whole lot more important than how we MIGHT vote.

In short, the incompetent moron in the oval office has to go because - given more time...he could ruin this great country of ours - forever.

Through Facebook, Twitter and other online sources, the campaign is working tirelessly to create a formidable data base collecting specific profiles of potential voters. Depending on factors, such as age, interests and socio-economic levels, the campaign is able to tailor messages to these potential voters.

Not being a Facebook or Twitter twit, all I can say is "Thanks goodness" I never got involved with with them, for just seeing that a$$ on my tv is bad enough!

My biggest problem is they can generate targeted lists to hand out to the thuggish leftists. Is the left creating their own McCarthy list...techno-style?

"Continuing from the success of his 2008 campaign, which raised millions in funding through online donations, Obama’s re-election campaigners also had another head start..."

I thought I just read that Romney had outraised Zero for individual campaign contributions in May. Which is unusual for a Republican.

My wife received a mailer from the Obama campaign. Since AFAIK she's never voted for a 'rat, that's about as far off target as they can get, unless they're soliciting money from Romney.

So far their efforts seem unimpressive. How did the Wisconsin cyberwars work out last week?

Note to Google analytics, zedo, cdn: I am more interested in ads for Macy's upcoming furniture sale than fake polls, banner ads, and pictures of Moochelle or Barack.

ALL that it means is that IF obamao wins... this will make it easier for them to arrest, imprison and kill all of the opposition... but it will not put money in anyone’s pocket and it will not find a job for the jobless. No amount of data mining can change the actions of the worst president in our History. If only we had a real alternative to vote for... stories like these would be laughed off the front pages of the communist publications.

“I’m not a techie at all. Is this important?”

Think of it this way... If this were a company seeking out potential customers who love subs and sandwiches, data mining would provide a means for identifying and segmenting out those individuals from the general population for targeted marketing efforts. It is a great way to reduce your marketing and advertising costs, but it in no way guarantees that the prospective customers will be interested in or act on your offer. This is especially true in this case, where the data mining efforts are all designed to sell a “turd sandwich” (Barack Hussein Obama).

This is nothing more than socialist MSM propoganda attempting to pump up the “turd” and dispirit those who will vote against him in November. It is irrelevant.

'They are way ahead of Romney micro-targeting ...

And last month, behind Romney in fundraising, so how'a that micro stuff working out for 'ya Obummer? You can micro til the cows come home (or in your case, the chickens come home to roost) & it won't get people in the voting booth. Even the 'Obama Girl' isn't voting for you this time around.
