42 Obama s 50 State Strategy (1) A fifty state strategy is a political strategy which aims for progress in all states of the United States of America, rather than conceding certain states as "unwinnable". Obtain 270 Electoral votes Soldify wins in Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Florida Keep every state won by Kerry in the 2004 election Top priorities in battleground states - Voter Registration - Helping elect Democrats down the ballot - Build grassroots organization in every state Going up in television early in Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia Stick with issue spots vs McCain s attack spots Install confidence within the people Use attack spots only in states with very small margins Focus on small donations

56 Innovations In-game advertising For weeks Obama ran in-game ads in 18 games such as Burnout Paradise for the Xbox 360 across 10 battleground states. The Obama campaign paid Massive Incorporated $44, for online advertising in early October.
57 Obama Everywhere Obama has gained 5 million supporters in other social networks. Obama maintained a profile in more than 15 online communities, including BlackPlanet, a MySpace for African Americans, and Eons, a Facebook for baby boomers. On Facebook, where about 3.2 million (during the campaign) signed up as his supporters, a group called Students for Barack Obama was created in July It was so effective at energizing college-age voters that senior aides made it an official part of the campaign the following spring. And Facebook users did vote: On Facebook's Election 2008 page, which listed an 800 number to call for voting problems, more than 5.4 million users clicked on an "I Voted" button to let their Facebook friends know that they made it to the polls.
58 My.BarackObama.com Statistics On MyBarackObama.com, Obama's own social network, 2 million profiles were created In addition, 200,000 offline events were planned About 400,000 blog posts were written And more than 35,000 volunteer groups were created - at least 1,000 of them on Feb. 10, 2007, the day Obama announced his candidacy
59 McCain vs Obama on the web (1) Engagement and Participation During the primary-election examination, the Obama Web site focused heavily more than that of any other candidate from either party on engaging supporters and motivating them to turn their enthusiasm into on-the-ground, grassroots activities Both campaign websites offer two ways of facilitating user engagement allowing people to communicate with the campaign, personalize their own pages, and sign up to receive information updates For most of the summer, however, many of these features on the McCain site were not yet operational. They are now up and running. The McCain website offers customization tools through McCainSpace, a feature advertised as early as 2007 but not fully functioning until August of As late as August 1, the only option was to create a personal page and even that was still not really working. That page displayed only a generic note that the page was under construction and they would notify us when it went live. As that page went live, McCainSpace also launched additional customization features. Users can now post McCain videos, pictures and blogs to their home pages, and with a few clicks send any of that material out to users of 25 different social networking sites.
60 McCain vs Obama on the web (2) Engagement and Participation Both candidate websites offer targeted information to people of different demographic groups. Both websites offer RSS feeds and let users sign up to updates. Since the primary season, Obama has added mobile phone text updates to his list of delivery options. Neither candidate offers podcasts of campaign information, something only a few candidates offered during the primary season.
61 McCain s missteps: astroturfing Asking supporters to cut and paste talking points into blog comment threads in exchange for prizes? Its bribing, not authentic and undermines what social media are all about. See for Word Of Mouth Marketing Code of Conduct!

76 Text Messaging & Mobile A million people signed up for Obama's text-messaging program On the night Obama accepted the Democratic nomination at Invesco Field in Denver, more than 30,000 phones among the crowd of 75,000 were used to text in to join the program Supporters on average received 5 to 20 text messages per month, depending on where they lived -- the program was divided by states, regions, zip codes and colleges and what kind of messages they had opted to receive. On Election Day, every voter who'd signed up for alerts in battleground states got at least 3 text messages
77 Obama's opt-in database contains upwards of 13 million addresses Over the course of the campaign, aides sent more than 7,000 different messages, many of them targeted to specific donation levels (people who gave less than $200, for example, or those who gave more than $1,000). In total, more than 1 billion s landed in inboxes. Four years ago, Sen. John F. Kerry had 3 million e-addresses on his list; former Vermont governor Howard Dean had 600,000.)
