David Plouffe's The Audacity to Win: The Inside Story and Lessons of Barack Obama's Historic Victory is his story of that groundbreaking achievement, taking readers inside the remarkable campaign that led to the election of the first African-American president.

The book chronicles the arrival of a new moment in American life at the convergence of digital technology and grassroots organization, and the exciting possibilities revealed by a campaign that in many ways functioned as a $1 billion start-up with laser-like focus and discipline. - Sixth & I Historic Synagogue

An interesting idea to consider would be: did Obama's support from younger Americans come from his campaign's use of internet or did his use of internet try to connect to young supporters who already pledged loyalty. An interesting idea, I might do a video on it, or if anyone has a thought about it feel free to reply to this comment or on one of my videos.
