Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is the first politician to use iAd |
Romney's team found that much of the traffic visiting their web site came from a mobile product, and a majority of those were using an Apple mobile device. Romney Digital Director Moffat feels that smartphone users are a captive audience and is, "the most personal device you carry. We felt like we wanted to connect with people where they spend their time." The iAd spots will be interactive and offer a link to the "With Mitt" photo sharing app. They will run only in states where television spots will also run and feature embedded video as well as a link that supporters can use to donate to the campaign.
The Romney iAd spots will start running next week.

You mean... iAd is the first Apple's campaign to use American presidential candidate?
The totalitarian system has begun.

So does this mean our political system is now being segregated into Reapplecans, Androcrats and Windependants?

technically that would be reversed since true conservatives like choice while true liberals like big brother controls.

did u even bother to read the bottom part of the article...
sigh... romney is on both oses.. although I wish he would make a more informative app rather than just his name-- that way people could actually see benefits rather than just further name enhancing

My vote is for Mitt ! I need to see someone take aim at the deficit ! We gotta live within our means , if we don't have it we just can't spend it . We gotta start saving a small percentage of revenue at all cost !! (drunk)

I am a very conservative person on the National level. All these well intended policies (no sarcasm, I still believe most politicians actually do care) are useless. No way the Department of Education, HUD, the Department of Energy, and about a dozen other huge, expensive, and over-manned legislative nightmares can make policies that work for huge Urban areas and small town USA. On the local level, city and county government can make a HUGE difference.
But, I think we have seen once for all from the expanse of the fed under President Bush (No Child Left Behind was a disaster for underfunded school systems, the unfunded Prescription Medication system cost nearly three times as much as it was supposed to in it's first year, and Homeland Security was about twice the size as it should have been taxing an already strained defense/intelligence budget) to the insane - almost criminal- spending with no results under Obama, we can lay to rest the Federal Government can solve problems argument here in the US. It is here for a very specific purpose, and solving individuals problems ain't it.
I am no huge Romney fan, but the option ain't an option.
Oh, and by the way- neat idea from the Romney camp. And I think Obama did a great job in 08 using tech, as well.
Boy, it's going to be a long political season....
