Campaigns dig through online data to target voters

 

Voters who click on President Barack Obama's campaign website are likely to start seeing display ads promoting his re-election bid on their Facebook pages and other sites they visit. Voters searching Google for information about Mitt Romney may notice a 15-second ad promoting the Republican presidential hopeful the next time they watch a video online.

 

The 2012 election could be decided by which campaign is best at exploiting voters' Internet data.

 

The Romney and Obama campaigns are spending heavily on television ads and other traditional tools to convey their messages. But strategists say the most important breakthrough this year is the campaigns' use of online data to raise money, share information and persuade supporters to vote. The practice, known as "microtargeting," has been a staple of product marketing. Now it's facing the greatest test of its political impact in the race for the White House.

I haven't clicked on any online ads or searched for info because I don't want them invading my computer time any more than I can help it.

Texas primaries today. Mainly will be interesting to see how non-"establishment" Republicans and those seeking election do. Romney should carry most delegates.

President Obama Causes Outrage with Reference to ‘Polish Death Camp’

Jake Tapper

5/29/12

 

Poles and Polish-Americans expressed outrage today at President Obama’s reference earlier to “a Polish death camp” — as opposed to a Nazi death camp in German-occupied Poland.

 

“The White House will apologize for this outrageous error,” Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted. Sikorski said that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk “will make a statement in the morning. It’s a pity that this important ceremony was upstaged by ignorance and incompetence.”

 

The president had been trying to honor a famous Pole, awarding a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Jan Karski, a resistance fighter who sneaked behind enemy lines to bear witness to the atrocities being committed against Jews. President Obama referred to him being smuggled “into the Warsaw ghetto and a Polish death camp to see for himself.”

The Extraordinary Nature of the Texas Runoff

It is hard to overstate just how extraordinary Ted Cruz’s underdog entry into the Texas runoff is and just how the odds are still stacked against him unless conservatives rally quickly with lots of money.

David Dewhurst has been Lt. Governor of Texas for more than a decade. He has massive name ID throughout the state. Ted Cruz started this race with a three or four percent showing in polling.

More so, Dewhurst is a multimillionaire who can write large sums of money to fund his campaign. Ted Cruz cannot. Texas has several of the most expensive media markets in the country and the state is too large to go door to door across the state.

Dewhurst’s political team is Governor Rick Perry’s highly successful (in Texas) political team. I know a number of them and consider them friends. They are formidable.

Wasserman Schultz: Romney Gets Delegates After ‘Year of Tepid Support’ vs. ‘One of the Weakest Fields in History’

The Democratic National Committee marked Mitt Romney securing enough delegates in the Texas primary for the Republican presidential nomination with a scathing monologue from chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).

“Tonight, after six years of trying and millions of dollars spent, and after a year of tepid support against one of the weakest fields in history, Mitt Romney has finally secured enough delegates to become the Republican Party’s presidential nominee,” Wasserman Schultz said in a statement last night. “Romney may have finally gained enough delegates to become the nominee, but what’s been truly remarkable about his path to the nomination is how much damage he’s left in his wake as he enters the general election.”

Romney marked the evening with a $2 million fundraiser with Donald Trump in Las Vegas.

'Obama ... Stressed He Probably Knows About Judaism More than Any Other President'

"[A]ll his friends in Chicago were Jewish."

President Obama met yesterday with "about 20 Conservative Jewish community leaders, thanking them for the work they do to improve communities around the country and discussed their shared commitment to rebuilding the U.S. economy," Haaretz reports.

 

In the meeting, Obama reportedly boasted about his knowledge of Judaism, telling the leaders that he thinks he knows more "about Judaism" than all past presidents. He said he gained this knowledge of Judaism from reading.

Romney: It Saddens My Heart That Vampire Socialist Barack Obama Lost A Half Billion of Taxpayer Money on a Jackass Investment With His Rich Friends and 1,100 Hardworking Americans Lost Their Jobs

—Ace

What's worse than Vampire Capitalism? Vampire Socialism.

Mitt Romney and a super PAC supporting him are giving Solyndra a try on the trail, unveiling ads that wield the $535 million energy loan scandal as a double-whammy: an indictment of big government spending and the answer to Romney’s private equity problem.

...

The Romney campaign’s ad uses the bankrupt California solar manufacturer as a launching pad to go after the Energy Department's entire clean energy initiative — ticking off a series of green companies that ran into financial trouble, and implying that the program amounted to the president “giving taxpayer money to big donors, and then watching them lose it.”

...

The argument: Solyndra is the best example of President Barack Obama's stimulus at its worst, complete with a cozy donor in deep with a company that got taxpayer money only to file for bankruptcy and lay off 1,100 workers. Forget Romney's record at the private equity firm Bain Capital — look at Obama's public investment failure.

...

“If Romney’s record in private equity is fair game, then so is Obama’s record in public equity — and that record is not pretty,” Marc Thiessen wrote in The Washington Post last week, in a column that ran through a number of the same clean energy companies as the new Romney ad. He added: “Now the man who made Solyndra a household name says Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital 'is what this campaign is going to be about.' Good luck with that, Mr. President. snip ”

Mitt Romney hates women and wants to keep them barefoot and pregnant. the nonpartisan Planned Parenthood so...so it must be true, they're nonpartisan after all.

 

Addendum he also wants them to die of breast cancer.

 

Just trying in my own way to set the record straight.

'Obama ... Stressed He Probably Knows About Judaism More than Any Other President'

 

Someone more partisan than I might ask if he'd let his sister marry one. I would never say that...can't speak for Carlos my invisible friend, but I would not.

Unbelievable!!

Btw I came here to say that Bill Hennery (?) is doing a series of interviews on Fox with Mitt and Anne Romney and they are coming across as very likeable, very approachable peopl who truly love each other.

 

Back to Valin's hilarious video.

Yesterday Rush:

RUSH: Okay. So President Obama gives the highest honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to a Marxist socialist. What is the media narrative? The media narrative is Romney is out of kilter with America because he will not denounce Donald Trump as a supporter. While Obama is honoring Marxists and socialists (Toni Morrison is one as well), the media is ripping Romney to shreds for being out of touch with America because Trump is a supporter and contributor. Last night and this morning, we have a montage of media people demanding that Romney denounce Trump and me.

RomneyAnn_large.jpgRON BROWNSTEIN: Mitt Romney holding back and being fundamentally silent while Trump is bloviating, as he was on Rush Limbaugh.

MARIA CARDONA: (haltingly) He can't even stand up to Donald Trump, to Rush Limbaugh.

JAMAL SIMMONS: ...wouldn't stand up to Rush Limbaugh.

JOAN WALSH: He feels like you can't afford to alienate -- certainly not Rush Limbaugh.

JIM DEAN: Not only would Mitt Romney not stand up to Donald Trump, but he wouldn't stand up to Rush Limbaugh.

RUSH: They're throwing me in there, and I haven't done anything lately. I haven't done anything. All I've done is survive. It ticks 'em off. So they throw me in there with Trump, and that means Romney is out of touch. "Romney doesn't have the slightest idea what to do, what's going on! He's not qualified to run this country," because he won't denounce me or Trump. Last night on CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront, the guest was Democrat strategerist Jamal Simmons. Here's the question: "Mitt Romney said he doesn't agree with all the people who support him. Does he need come out and say something about Trump?"

SIMMONS: He wouldn't stand up to Rush Limbaugh, wouldn't stand up to, uh, Rick Santorole (sic), and now he won't stand up to Donald Trump. At some point he's gotta put the lulus back in the cage (snickers) and tell them, "I'd love to have your support, but not in these circumstances." Meanwhile, the President of the United States spent the day with Madeleine Albright, and Dolores Huerta and Toni Morrison -- you know, bestowing these medals on them. And Mitt Romney (chortling) is with Donald Trump. It's just a great contrast for the Obama people.

RUSH: It damn well is. It damn well is! Do you think the vast majority of these people relate to Toni Morrison and Dolores Huerta or Trump? Everywhere Donald Trump goes is a sellout. Donald Trump teaches a course at the New School, it's a sellout. Donald Trump does a lecture on wealth creation, it's a sellout. I know it's popular to make Trump a caricature and a joke in the left-wing media, and the same thing with me. But look at this. "Romney's running around with Trump, and he won't denounce Limbaugh, and yet there's our guy, Obama," with a couple of Marxists! "It's a great contrast for the Obama people."

Exactly right.
