Time has an interesting article on the Obama campaign's use of data analysis to target their ad dollars (including his appearance on Reddit, of course, which cost him nothing but time). What I find fascinating is this general trend towards science - data analysis in the campaign, poll analysis by Nate Silver - that is proving itself in the public mind in a much more direct way than the old model of personal genius doing the incomprehensible.
Strange days indeed.
