Facebook and politicians

zomg rice shortage!!!1!!
Want to know a brilliant way to sell more of something? Tell Americans they’re running out of it. Have Costco and Sam’s Club post signs that restrict buyers to x number of boxes or gallons or bags. Let the media run with the story. This week the panic is about rice. In the case of [...]

Obama in PA
The Obama campaign has probably done everything humanly possible to make sure that people know the primary is tomorrow, where to go to vote, what to expect when you get there, and, of course, who to vote for. The TV ads have been mostly non-negative — up until one of Mrs. Clinton’s ads today. A [...]
