Something we’ve noticed thus far about Romney campaign emails: the subject lines are overtly political. Whereas Obama emails assume a more “familiar” tone.
Which would you prefer to receive —
Political?
Friendly?
None of the above?
Not to be confused — the Romney campaign is going strong. But its contest for convention passes ends tonight.
Send Us Campaign Emails!
This election season, ProPublica has been collecting campaign emails for our Message Machine project. While we're trying to reverse engineer how these emails are targeted at voters, we also find ourselves giggling from time to time at the awkardly familiar nature of the subject lines.
If you get emails from campaigns, and would like to find out how they are targeting you, or if you just want to help out with these new Tumblrs, forward emails from Obama and Romney to emails@messagemachine.propublica.org »
