One thing is abundantly clear. While they are trying, not one of his challengers, potential or otherwise, have it together nearly as well as Obama. The two that are closest to getting it, are Hillary, and oddly enough Joe Biden. I wonder whom is(are) the architect(s) of Obama's online strategy.

Yeah, Mark, others will nab this structure for sure.
There is room for improvement, too: though access to the site’s MyBarak functionality required me to register, I’ve yet to receive a(n expected) “welcome and thank you” form email from the man himself. Likewise, though I’ve signed up for a few local groups, I’ve not gotten a “thanks for joining — how would you like to help?” email from the group leader (this could feasibly be personalized, I reckon, considering most groups appear under 30 folks).
The community-building machine should leap upon these opportunities. I should be tired of handshakes by now.

Definitely a web savvy set-up – combining online connectivity, community, ease-of-use and ownership. Look for other campaigns to try and steal this concept – as well they should.
