Obama for America
• It's interesting to note that the 20 social networking sites and the campaign's own online community (MyBo), which powered OFA did not yield a high return on investment in terms of fundraising.
• "From a fundraising perspective, external social networks are not a good use of time. No one has ever really cracked that code." - Stephen Geer, Director of Email and Online Fundraising, Obama for America
• Instead, "The real drivers were old school. They were email. And they were web." - David Plouffe, Campaign Manager, Obama for America
