Why would CTR have to coordinate with the Clinton campaign? (also in GDP)

[LAS14]

Can anyone explain why Correct the Record would have to coordinate with the Clinton campaign in order to do what they propose to do? I don't get it. This is apparently in connection with their plan to push back against Bernie Bros on line.

Due to FEC loopholes, the Sunlight Foundation’s Libby Watson found this year that Correct the Record can openly coordinate with Clinton’s campaign, despite rules that typically disallow political campaigns from working directly with PACs.


“SuperPACs aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidates. The whole reasoning behind (Supreme Court decision) Citizens United rests on (PACs) being independent, but Correct the Record claims it can coordinate,” Watson told The Daily Beast. “It’s not totally clear what their reasoning is, but it seems to be that material posted on the Internet for free—like, blogs—doesn’t count as an ‘independent expenditure.’”

Revolution Messaging to Lead Digital Efforts For Bernie Sanders’ Presidential Campaign
Obama Vets Kick Off Online Fundraising, Social Media Campaign for Bernie 2016

Washington, DC– Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign and full-service digital firm Revolution Messaging announced today that the firm has been hired to lead digital efforts for Sanders’ 2016 campaign. The award winning firm led by Obama veterans is heading up social media, online organizing, online fundraising, web design, and digital advertising for Bernie 2016.

“We are excited to bring on the team behind President Obama’s groundbreaking social media, mobile and rapid response digital operations in 2008,” said Sanders’ advisor Tad Devine. “The groundswell of grassroots support for Bernie is already surpassing expectations and Revolution Messaging is the right team to help us harness that energy with innovative, cutting-edge technology. The campaign will bring together millions of Americans who are sick and tired of the economic and political status quo and want fundamental change in how we do economics and politics in this country. We believe that Revolution is exactly the right group to help us use social media to achieve that goal.”

“Like a lot of Obama supporters, we were looking for a candidate with a track record of doing the right thing – even if it meant taking on Wall Street billionaires and other powerful interests. A candidate who could inspire a movement,” said Scott Goodstein, founder of Revolution Messaging and external online director for Obama ’08. “Bernie Sanders is that candidate.”

“We are thrilled to bring our award winning ad technology and rapid response digital media tools to this quickly growing movement,” added Goodstein.

In addition to Goodstein, who ran Obama’s social media and mobile programs in 2008, the Revolution Messaging team is led by Presidential campaign and digital strategy veterans including:

Adweek – Bernie Sanders Runs The New York Times’ First Takeover Ad for a Political Candidate

Bernie Sanders Runs The New York Times’ First Takeover Ad for a Political Candidate

Democrat gets premium digital space

Adweek By Christopher Heine
April 14, 2016, 4:14 PM EDT

http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/bernie-sanders-runs-new-york-times-first-takeover-ad-political-candidate-170835
Bernie Sanders is running a desktop takeover ad on The New York Times’ website through midnight as the Democratic presidential candidate readies to battle Hillary Clinton in a debate in Brooklyn tonight.

It’s the first time the Times has given the digital space to a political candidate for any race, a rep for the newspaper said via email.

It’s unclear why Sanders got the premium space before any other candidate. Adweek asked the Times for a clarification but hasn’t received an answer. It would appear to be a change in policy, however. Otherwise, it could be accused of favoritism in the contested race—though the paper endorsed Clinton as the Democratic nominee at the end of January. At the same time, it’s hard to imagine that no other political candidate has asked to buy the ad unit.

Clinton reps didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment via email or phone.

The ad was purchased by Washington, D.C.-based Revolution Messaging, which is handling digital media for Sanders.

Clicking through on Sanders’ ad takes users to a page where they can select the political issues that interest them most—racial justice, campaign finance reform, etc.—and join the campaign’s email list. When the form is completed, users are taken to a donations page.

Revolution Messaging helps drive Sanders' 'political revolution'

COMMENT
EMAIL
WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders has weathered some tough losses in his long-shot bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. But even when pundits close the curtain on his campaign, his supporters open their wallets.

Online small-dollar contributions helped the Vermont independent exceed an improbable goal of raising $40 million for the month of February — and outraise Hillary Clinton for the second month in a row — with a one-day haul of more than $6 million pouring in after she trounced him in South Carolina’s Feb. 27 primary. And supporters donated more than $4 million, just shy of the campaign's goal, since Clinton swept Tuesday’s five nominating contests.

Such success helps explain why the campaign believes his “political revolution” is just getting started, despite his sizable delegate deficit. Whether he wins or loses, passionate supporters have responded to his online appeals with windfalls — and many are likely to give again because they haven’t reached the legal limit on donations.

“As our supporters go, the campaign goes,” said Tim Tagaris, a partner at the firm Revolution Messaging who leads Sanders’ digital fundraising. “They recognize that they are acting collectively with millions of people just like them to make a real difference in the campaign.”

6. Don't get me wrong. I'm delighted...

... that CTR is making this offensive. We need it. Should have happened before. I'm just wondering why the comments about "coordinating," whether they're really coordinating, since I don't see why they'd need to.

7. Probably they don't want their online presence to get down to the level of bullying

and rudeness, and crassness, and smears, and Man-splaining, and yuck all around! Probably they don't want it to Devolve and get out of control like we are experiencing ourselves in DU and everywhere. Needs to be a Positive, not a turn off!

JMO !
