It’s an off year, so we know Election Day a year from now will look different. One thing to count on is President Obama’s reelection campaign will innovate. Odds are, it plans on owning the mobile space, just as it owned online advertising in the 2008 election.
The 2012 election will be different. Large aspects of the 2012 election will be unwired. Some news this morning indicates just how that might look. Chances are:
- The canvassers at you door will be thumbing a Smartphone instead of a clipboard. (GU Eday Release.)
- More could be voting on an Ipad touchscreens.
