From TPM: Obama Emailing and Texting 18% of Ohio

Post swiped from TPM here. By Greg Sargent

---

Buried in the new ABC/Washington Post poll of Ohio is a fascinating number that sheds some light on what the Obama camp has accomplished with new media organizing.

The poll finds that an astonishing 17% of Ohio voters say they've received a text message or email from the Obama campaign.

Ohio has 8.2 million registered voters now. So that means the Obama campaign has reached around 1.4 million voters by text or email in Ohio alone.

What makes that even more impressive is that these voters aren't merely passive recipients of texts and emails -- some of them are organizing, too.

Tim Tagaris, the former Web director for Chris Dodd and Ned Lamont, knows about online organizing, and he says this is a very big deal, which means it is a very big deal.

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to write.
