in the Associated Press via text message 08/20/08
I’m quoted in an Associated Press article running nationwide today on the importance of Barack Obama (bleh) using text messaging for his campaign.
My quotes:
“What Obama is creating is this army of individuals, these grass-roots activists, who are out there trying to change the world in 160 characters or less,” said David All, a Republican strategist who specializes in technology.

All, a former communications director for Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., said he remains concerned that McCain’s campaign and many Republicans are overlooking the potential of text messaging.
“Text messaging is really powerful. If I have a text message, I can forward that text message to over 100 people in my cell phone list,” All said. “It’s going to be read by every single person — have you ever not read a text message?”
My friends over at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution picked up my quotes (since I’m a former Georgia press secretary having worked for Rep. Jack Kingston).
