With eyes on Hillary Clinton, Democrats fight to maintain digital edge
President Barack Obamas team of 20-something data gurus gave him a major edge in 2008 and 2012 and now theyre among the leading players in a quiet struggle for control of the Democratic data market in 2016.
The biggest prize, both symbolically and financially, is a spot on the growing team surrounding Obamas 2008 rival: Hillary Clinton.
The 2016 presidential campaign will be Big Datas biggest proving ground yet. Expect the savviest campaigns and their techies to surpass Obamas vaunted 2012 effort, where data and analytics influenced everything from which fundraising emails went where and which ads aired when on different cable stations, to which doors got knocked and what the volunteer said when they opened.

It's kind of late at night. Maybe the Hillary supporters aren't night owls. n/t

I think this is good evidence that DU is not necessarily a proper cross section of the electorate.

FYI, it's "toed" the line. As in stood by it. We're not pulling it to another location.

What foreign policy of Hillary's? Cozying up to foreign dictators who institute abusive policies against women?

Well, that's OK...probably all the possible candidates have unsavory baggage besides Hillary.
