Ars Technica’s Sean Gallagher published an article today that takes a look into the expenses of recent US Election. A key point was that Obama treated the campaign as a company and hired the talent needed to do the tasks whereas Romney outsourced much of the work to other organizations. The flexibility of having the talent in-house gave the Obama campaign an edge. Overall, a great article worth the read. Also, you can see a list of some of the services they used during the campaign. I’ve used some of the same services that Obama’s campaign used. How cool is that?
