bullshit. They are the establishment, the old white guys, whose model is not the most efficient way of getting things done.
yes, someone made the wrong call infrastructure wise, but you have to ask: why did they make this call? It's because, in their world, this is how you do it.
The Dems were more open to a different type of campaign that brought tech in house etc.
Writing it off as an infrastructure choice with no relation to how they think is disingenuous.
- maratd 14y ago> They are the establishment Isn't Obama the establishment now? I think he's a Democrat. > the old white guys Most Republicans aren't old. Some are white, but not all. I'm not. Some aren't even guys ... If I said something similar about Democrats, like how they're all black or something equally moronic and false ... you'd be jumping up and down, calling me a racist. > The Dems were more open to a different type of campaign that brought tech in house etc. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hcoyG-Ck3-VwZB7fqpUFXbffoObg http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hcoyG-Ck3...

- dlitwak 14y agoI think the whole point of conservative is not changing, keeping things the way they are, as opposed to "progressive" ideas, which advocate change. I'm not interested in debating you about who is actually "establishment" etc. in that way, my point was conservatives have an "establishment" way of thinking: the tried and the true, the way things worked before, not necessarily the way they will work in the future. I think you understand what I'm talking about. Re the old white comment, look at the demographics: that was the only demographic republicans won. If you said democrats were just a bunch of black guys, then yes I would be offended. If you said the truth, that democrats were a coalition of young people, single women, and minorities, I would not. I'm a white male, and voted for Obama, so I understand that it is a generalization. That link is irrelevant, I don't care if Obama doesn't like Xboxs and iphones, doesn't mean his campaign wasn't technologically proficient: whose campaign's tech broke down on election day and outsourced their development to contractors? Romney. Who had a dedicated team of coders in house and everything worked well? Obama. Most startup guys will tell you that outsourcing their main product never ends well.
