Inside the Obama Campaign’s Hard Drive

I”m curious if you guys have these organized by election you’re examining, and have looked at each election in isolation? If not, you should do so, while asking the question: how was the Internet used in this election?
Your argument, as I understand it, is that the use of the Internet by presidential campaigns has become progressively more sophisticated since 2000. To show this, you need to be able to establish a baseline (how it was used in the 2000 election), a progression (how it was used in 2004 and 2008), and then a concluding point, (how it was used in 2012).
In the 2000 presidential campaign, the Bush and Gore campaigns used the Internet in this way and that way. Here’s the evidence (some data, some anecdotal evidence, a map, an interview). Here’s the meaning.
In the 2004 presidential campaign, the Bush and Kerry campaigns used the Internet in this way and that way. Here’s the evidence (some data, some anecdotal evidence, a map, an interview). Here’s how it was different than the 2000 election. Here’s what it means.
In the 2008 presidential campaign, the Obama and McCain campaigns used the Internet in this way and that way. Here’s the evidence (some data, some anecdotal evidence, a map, an interview). Here’s how it was different than the 2000 and 2004 elections. Here’s what it means.
In the 2012 presidential campaign, the Obama and Romney campaigns used the Internet in this way and that way. Here’s the evidence (some data, some anecdotal evidence, a map, an interview). Here’s how it was different than the 2000, 2004, and 2008 election. Here’s what it means. Here’s where we are.
Yeah that’s basically how we figured we’d handle it.
I was thinking of doing this by election year but I wasn’t sure if it would’ve fit the bibliography format! Sorry! D:
We also have more sources than this, but I was also scared of the post being too long. We did a lot of data mining, cherry picking what we need some certain sources while still using a bunch of resources.
We also have a lot of text to analysis because for some elections (basically the earlier ones) web use was really used more to spread information and get funding (Howard Dean’s Dem. Primary push for the internet was a bit ahead of his time). By 2008, and 2012 specifically it
was used more diversely.
That is what we are planning to do. Except now it is only 2004, 2008 and 2012.
