So, the other day, Anthony Weiner makes big news, saying what needed to be said. That leads to big diaries here, and I made a comment:
Your welcome. I hadn't thought about it when I added the Act Blue link, I just did it automatically. Now, I realize why; at NN10, I was talking with the Act Blue people, and there was something in that conversation I couldn't put my finger on. But you had the answer, Act Blue is an immediate reward.
Rep. Weiner says something that provokes an immediate, positive reaction, he gets an immediate financial reward. Yes, he's in no danger, but someone in the campaign office notices, and lets staff know. After a bit, if we're consistent, I have hopes for a Pavlovian response; act/vote like a progressive and get a cookie.
Yep. This isn't a big, new idea, but thanks to the ActBlue folks in the exhibition hall.
