So, people spent up to $97 per received vote in US elections and lost! Wow!
(see: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/09/AR2010110900153.html?wpisrc=nl_cuzhead ) (also : http://articles.latimes.com/2010/nov/07/opinion/la-ed-money-20101107 )
Very interesting little event at Broken City last evening where a bright guy confidently pronounced David Swann and the Alberta Liberals as certain also rans in the next Alberta general election.
Given the Nenshi case for winning elections (see http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Nenshi+race/3717226/story.html & http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Election+outcome+tale+energy/3715121/story.html ) and the Angle/ McMahon/ Whitman case for losing elections along with the tone, mood and engagement found in the event yesterday, placing your bets just now might be a tad premature.
There is real opportunity and it relates to the engagement or disengagement of a great many highly motivated and critical wannabe voters.
The change of the campaign process has thrown most of conventional wisdom about campaigning out the window.
Brace for change!
