I think they're afraid a social campaign will backfire if it's not done perfect.., so I presume the innovation will come Most politicians seem to be less technical than Obama. Personally I think another important question how will a campaign work with less scale, for instance in Holland or for local governments? But you're right, without a descent social campaign you're at least much behind.. I'm really looking forward to all campaigns coming! That’s the one million dollar question.

We use the Obama campaign to illustrate the power of participatory culture and what happens when people become engaged with compelling narrative AND are asked to c0-create. One of the lingering questions we ponder is: Why are government organizations/non-profits, a year after the successful execution of the single greatest social media campaign to date, still unable to dramatically transition their traditional marketing efforts and embrace proven, Transmedia elements? If social media/distribution is (1) available to everyone, (2) economically feasible, and, if we are advancing technologies at a faster rate than at any other time in history, it would stand to reason that political organizations/non-profits would do well to harness the extraordinary power of participatory campaigns; particularly as these organizations need funding and membership at a very crucial time in our economic history.
