I'm glad Wired brought this up, because it is something that has been in the back of my head since 2008 and was reinforced with the 2012 election. For example take a look at http://awsofa.info/ http://awsofa.info/ Especially this from the article, “I don’t need 100,000 engineers,” he says. “I need 100 good ones.” And I think the GOP is going to have a serious time recruiting those engineers in the next few election cycles.
I'm not convinced about what Moffat says here when he touches on name recognition and the GOP candidates being newer being a problem compared to Hillary:
“I do envy the Democrats have had this six-year head start,”
I think this is more than just name recognition. It is just far easier for me to imagine a young Stanford graduate or Google employee jumping onto the the Sanders, Obama, or Clinton campaigns because of issues rather than name recognition. I follow developers from big products like Firefox, etc, and they mock the GOP candidates—name recognition was not the problem.
