      @davekarpf @kreissdaniel So that's the current story and you are probably right. But I think Obama's shaping of turnout was key in 2008.

      @davekarpf @kreissdaniel And as you guys have written :-D that is closely linked to use of data. It's the .. direction.

      @davekarpf @kreissdaniel And current methods are crude but they are getting better fast. The tech side of inference is moving really fast.

      @zeynep @davekarpf Yes, but I think Eitan shows that voter psyche won't change; predicting persuadability is essentially random.

      @kreissdaniel @davekarpf I don't think predicting persuadability will remain wholly random; especially not at the margins which win elex.

      @zeynep @davekarpf Take a look at Eitan's book. I am planning on bringing him down this spring. Let's do some joint event @UNCMJschool

      @kreissdaniel @davekarpf I have the book, on my to read list as soon as done with some writing. :-D Don't think I'd disagree.

      @kreissdaniel @davekarpf At the moment, best methods are not going into politics but they are maturing in rec systems, advertising, etc.

      @zeynep @kreissdaniel right. But the risks of mistargeting are much lower in those other arenas.

      @davekarpf @zeynep Now, if someone could figure out how to persuade people to vote en masse...

      @kreissdaniel @davekarpf that people have so much mistrust in the system and thus don't vote empowers analytics: margins more important.

          @kreissdaniel @davekarpf I think analytics less consequential in a highly-mobilized electorate. Fundamentals would be more important.
