Current Affairs: October 2004 Archives
David Ortiz was quiet tonight, but he has contributed so much in this series. I have watched every minute of every game. Its a marathon!
A-Rod smacked the ball out of his glove. It was a good call by the umps. Go Sox!
Both American major political parties are running vast databases of voter information. The Democrats have fired up Demzilla from Plus Three, while the Republicans enjoy the Vault, built offshore.
The more data the parties have, and the more ways they search, collate, cross-reference and puree them, using data-mining kung fu perfected by generations of direct marketers, the more precisely they can tailor their pitches to individual voters. Undecided black housewives under 35 will get very different phone calls from the Kerry campaign than Hispanic CEOs over 60. Data mining also helps the parties find, and sway, those all-important swing voters.
