Smart Campaigning

Here in Ohio, the presidential campaign for Barack Obama is hitting the airwaves. Within an hour's time, a TV viewer will normally see at least four campaign commercials for Sen. Obama. This evening there was even a commercial that asked viewers to send a text to the Obama campaign to get more information. This was absolutely brilliant! Not only are they getting young voters to support them, but they are also getting those valuable numbers for the future. The Obama campaign is using the tools young people use everyday to enlist their support.

I wonder if members of the GOP (Grumpy Old Party) know how to send a text message? Would they try to do it on their rotary phones?
