Last cycle the Obama team showed how effective campaigns can be using data – and in particular, making better use of cable.

Smart campaigns are going to incorporate cable more effectively. This article is a must read – analyzes the growth in cable spending suggesting it could make up to 25% of political ad spending. Good read.
