David Plouffe Keynote (Convergence ’09) liveblog #cvg09
I decided not to liveblog the event, but I created an iframe with CoverItLive, integrated the tweets from the beginning of the keynote speech. Below you can read it. I inserted several of my own notes and thoughts, but it’s not as detailed as my traditional liveblogs. Tris liveblogged on the M2O website, and I recommend reading his liveblog because he made some really good points.

LiveStream: David Plouffe (Social Media Strategist of Barack Obama’s campaign)
David was asked to speak specifically about how they used digital media and strategy in their campaign. Feel free to ask anything, you probably followed the campaign quite closely.
Looking back on it, at the very beginning of the campaign they were a big underdog. Barack Obama had only been a senator for 2 years. |

ianiv: @hummingbird604 for once, just lean back and relax #cvg09 |

PatrickLok: David Plouffe: Sarah Palin was our best organizer and fundraiser during the campaign (ha)
#cvg09 |
|
|
9:43
|
Raul: Did he think that he had something unique to offer? (Obama). The issue was could we put together a really credible campaign.
They needed to run a grassroots campaign where technology was at the core of the campaign. |
|
9:43
|
 |
Miss604: Plouffe opens up with a Palin joke … awesome #cvg09 |

PatrickLok: Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe talks strategic issues prior to writing the gameplan: #cvg09 |
|
|
9:44
|
|
hummingbird604: @ianiv You’re completely right. I will write down a few notes but not a direct liveblog – will publish summary post later #cvg09 |
|
|
9:45
|
|
PatrickLok: DP campaign fundamentals: 1) Fundraising 2) ORganizing 3) Delivery of message #cvg09 |
|
|
9:45
|
Raul: 1. Fundraising
2. Organizing
3. Delivery of message.
One of the reasons why they were successful of the campaign. Two main pillars:
a) The message – and the elements and issues that underlie the message.
b) Your electoral strategy. – (business model, growth model).
Their belief was – we will commit to adjust tactics, but not strategy.
It’s an important lesson – if you flail around, you *will* flail. You have GOT to have a strategy and a message. |
|
9:46
|
|
breebop: Plouffe: “what is your theory of victory?” Nice. #cvg09 |
|
|
9:46
|
|
PatrickLok: DP: Succeed on 2 pillars: 1) Message for offering and 2) Winning strategy? #cvg09 |
|
|
9:46
|
Raul: Their budget in 2007 ($ 50 million dollars) by June of 2007 they had already raised $ 58 million dollars. They were able to out-raise Hillary Clinton. it’s how they raised the money what was important. |
|
9:47
|
 |
GillianShaw: Listening to David Plouffe at #cvg09, for biz and pols, have your strategy and stick with it, adjust tactics, not strategy. |
|
|
9:47
|
|
PatrickLok: Keynote speaker David Plouffe explains building the most powerful fundraising machine in the world for Obama campaign: #cvg09 |
|
|
9:48
|
Raul: Social media and their social networking site allowed that to happen. Joiners of the campaign would donate and THEN they became fundraisers themselves with the social networking sites. Barack Obama would call and thank them personally. $ 500 million were raised online. |
|
9:49
|
Raul: Half of the people who gave money were people who never had given them money before . |
|
9:49
|
|
PatrickLok: Fundraisers who gave $25 would get other friends to donate $25 – tens of thousands grassroots donors to Obama campaign #cvg09 |

brodiedavid: David Plouffe at #cvg09 “social media and social networking let us build the most succesful political fundraising campaign in history” |
|
|
9:50
|
Raul: Politics is a lot like chess (and sometimes like boxing). You are trying to arrange your pieces so that you can dictate the campaign. They dictated the campaign of John McCain. |
|
9:50
|
|
PatrickLok: Email campaigns, houseparties – ppl took ownership of fundraising. Over 4 million donors made it possible to compete in NC&Virginia #cvg09 |
|
|

|
|
Miss604: Plouffe messaging re: fundraising is that it’s all about grassroots campaigns & how every single bit helps #cvg09 |
|
|

|
Raul: The financial muscle of the suppliers made it possible to win the red states. They (Obama’s campaign) had determined the playing field. |
|
9:51
|
|
PatrickLok: Plouffe: going in, 16 of 50 states were going to decide the presidency – like Ohio, North Carolina (not Cal. or Ala.) #cvg09 |
|
|
9:51
|
Raul: The supporters of Obama’s campaign lived their lives online. So they set up very early to encourage them to organize themselves online if they chose to do so. |

theotherlondon: Everybody running for office in our country raises money online. What was different was the method – individual fundraisers. #cvg09 |
|
|
9:53
|
|
PatrickLok: Plouffe: Supporters in each state/community organized themselves w/o staff help – via social networking site. Never done before. #cvg09 |
|
|
9:53
|
Raul: The supporters had a very strong, supportive machine. If they had not had the grassroots supporters, on their own, organizing their own states, they wouldn’t have made it in the states that were traditionally Republican. |

|
|
9:56
|
Raul: Demographics is destiny. They had to get independent voters. It was hard. A Republican had to go to a Democratic party and sway the vote. |
|
9:57
|
Raul: Months and months of organizing. They put huge premium on getting the people to participate. Technology was the gateway through which they communicated with each other. |
|
9:57
|
|
theotherlondon: It was people on their own using their own motivation (online activity) to give us head start. #cvg09 |
|
|
9:58
|
|
PatrickLok: DP: “We put a huge premium on getting younger people to participate-tech was gateway”- campaign organized every high school in Iowa #cvg09 |
|
|
9:58
|
Raul: They changed the electorate because they were texting, emailing and organizing themselves online. Convincing themselves that they could achieve something. It taught Obama’s campaign that they could change the electorate. |
|
9:59
|
|
PatrickLok: DP: “We changed the electorate to become favorable to us… made it younger, more African-American… technology was a part of that” #cvg09 |
|
|
9:59
|
|
theotherlondon: …as many people under 30 turning out as their were over 65. We changed the demographic. We could change the electorate. #cvg09 |
|
|
10:00
|
Raul: Technology is a big part of that. They were dependent on people who had neither or just spotty history. They did a lot of simply informational advertising (radio ads, online ads, texting, etc.) – they reminded people – here is where you vote, here is where you caucus.
25-30% of the people who participated
The value of technology – people may write down but they don’t keep it. Information was a real driver. Voter registration – they spent tonnes of focus just on that. |
|
10:02
|
|
breebop: ”We did not accept the electorate as it was” – Obama win depended on attracting new voters: Plouffe #cvg09 |
|
|
10:02
|
|
PatrickLok: Plouffe: Caucus lookup tool helped organizers track voters – 2 way resource-spent hundreds of millions telling ppl where/how to vote #cvg09 |
|
|
10:02
|
|
hummingbird604: RT @kirklapointe: #cvg09 Plouffe: Our approach – bring new voters in, not same group, Iowa was key; get Repubs, Indies to declare. Tech key. |
|
|
10:02
|
 |
b_radley: technology was the driver so education and how-to also played a key role -Plouffe at #cvg09 |
|
|
10:02
|
|
breebop: @rtanglao I was thinking the same. Obama campaign has been so widely analyzed – hoping Plouffe will reveal new insight #cvg09 |
|
|
10:03
|
|
brodiedavid: David Plouffe at #cvg09 ” 71% of first time voters voted with us” |
|
|
10:03
|
|
PatrickLok: Plouffe: “We tried to know how every human being in the state was going to vote” #cvg09 |
|
|
10:04
|
Raul: ”I registered 7 voters today” – with technology, they (the Obama campaign) knew who they were. They knew the profile and demographics. They sent people out to talk to people directly, registering millions of voters. They used their grassroots organization. |
|
10:04
|
Raul: THE MESSAGE
An important element that is frequently under-appreciated. |
|
10:07
|
 |
kk: Plouffe is polished & articulate but not sure he actually has anything interesting to say re: the internet or digital media *shrug* #cvg09 |
|
|
10:07
|
|
PatrickLok: Plouffe: we used technology to register voters, volunteers ran the initiative face to face- this won us Florida, Virginia, NC #cvg09 |
|
|
10:07
|
|
b_radley: focus on individuals who did not trad register to vote, iPhone app used at the end as well in Obama campaign- plouffe #cvg09 |

|
theotherlondon: In the world we live in today, people don’t trust the media anymore. What they trust is the people they live their lives with. #cvg09 |
|
|
10:08
|
Raul: Video(content) really is king these days. People were more prone to opening and absorb it and they did a lot of internal examining. It was enormously important because the supporters became more involved with the campaign. It wasn’t just giving them part of the story and allowing them to create history along. |
|
10:09

|
|
10:16
|
Raul: The real drivers were old school (Twitter NOT in vogue at the beginning of the campaign). As new technologies emerge, you gotta be in that space. You got to marry your technology strategy with your strategic objectives. The internet and email were central drivers that supported their strategic objectives. |

10:33
