Moving at the Speed of Government
That phrase might soon be replaced by “moving at the speed of Democrats”:
When (Terry) Mr. McAuliffe took over in 2001, one of the first orders of business for his team of computer geeks was to gather information for the national party to turn into a flexible, open-source format for use in races across the country.
Then, when Dr. Dean took over last year, he essentially made a clean sweep of the people who had engineered the nascent national database effort.
Four years to get to “nascent”? The linked Observer article indicates that the Dems are not doing well in the geeky game of fine-tuning voter targeting. So if you’re a conservative or moderate and you get unexpected robocalls from liberal groups, you’ll know why.
