However, since these numbers are quantifiable and things like engagement aren't as much, these numbers are important. <br><br>My point is that it helps paint a picture. We all know that if I candidate can effectively organize online it can be a game changer (Dean, Obama) So the fact that a candidate like Khazei, who has less name recognition than any other candidate shows that he is doing things right online. In my opinion. <br><br>I didn't include any non-democrats to keep things short and focused. <br><br>(Disclaimer: I am know currently a consultant for the Alan Khazei campaign. At the time of this post I was not.) Ari, thanks for commenting.
