A technology developed to map the human genome years ago was recently used by the Democratic National Committee to profile something nearly as complicated: the American voter.

Gus Bickford, president of Factorum Productions, said that one improvement that the DNC made was to move its databases to Netezza, a database appliance that's known for very high speed. "When you're able to run your queries, the turn around time becomes less with Netezza."

Democrats had at least one more weapon at hand during this election cycle that had lagged behind Republicans in prior elections: vast databases of public and commercial data that were used to find and target likely Democratic voters in a method politicos called microtargeting.

Behind every big success these days, there's probably some darned good IT making it happen. That appears to be the case in the surprising electoral victory by the Democratic Party last week.
