Obama’s data advantage - Lois Romano - POLITICO.com - 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.

Poppy Chic - NYTimes.com - Maureen Dowd - I FLEW down to Houston last year to have lunch with George Herbert Walker Bush. “Did you come because you think I’m going to die?” he asked me with a wry smile.

They’re going to pinch hit me and I’m going to get a hit, and we’re going to win this thing.’”
