Rock the Vote for Kerry

According to a new Zogby poll, young mobile voters pick Kerry over Bush, 55% to 40%. There are 120,000 registered users of the Rock the Vote Mobile campaign. The ROTVM outlines these facts:

• In the 2000 U.S. Presidential elections, 5 states were decided by fewer than 8,000 votes.
• The night before the March 2004 elections in Spain, the spread of text messaging mobilized some thousands of people who congregated in front of the political party running the country, Partido Popular, in just a couple of hours.
• Filipinos, reputed to be the fastest texters in the world, organized the world's first political revolution by mobile in 2001. Titled "People Power II," the SMS messaging effort took place over five days, resulting in so much political activation that the government of President Joseph Estrada was overthrown.

This is an incredibly important set of facts from Zogby and Rock the Vote. Not a single person was called on his or her mobile phone to participate in polls. I say again: the Bushies will be shocked on election day. 300+ EV and the popular.
