Not only that, but obsolete blowhards like Carville were ignored.

Obama had enough sense to surround himself with a campaign team that not only understood the internet, but could leverage it to raise money and get warm bodies on the ground in every state. His was the first truly tech-savvy campaign. It really was brilliantly done.

The guy even bypassed federal matching funds because it would have crippled his fundraising ability. That was unheard of.

Yep that and the fact that they were able to understand the youth vote better than any candidate I’ve seen in my lifetime. It didn’t hurt that Obama is a relatively young guy himself but I really think he was able to show himself as really valuing younger voters rather than taking them for granted like many candidates in the past.
