Fearful for G.O.P. Future, Techies Grab at the Keys
- snowwrestler 14y agoGreat article. It's tempting to look at the Obama campaign's digital savvy as the key to their victory, but it's mostly a symptom of the central problem of the Republicans--they have a message that just does not work with smart, innovative, young people. So most of the smart, innovative, young people go to work on Democratic causes, where they seek to engage other people who already lean the same way. Of course their social software works better than the Republicans--their audience is more social and more software-savvy. And the few smart, innovative, young people who do work on the GOP technology projects reject a huge portion of the modern GOP coalition. They're not religious, they're not bigoted, and they're not violent.
