Who Gets Your Email Address When Your Candidate Drops Out?
With Wesley Clark and other Democratic Presidential candidates dropping like flies, the question arises: what are they going to do with their lists of supporters email addresses?
Former Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi warns against the release of Dean's list if and when the Vermont governor topples.
Trippi suggested Dean might write supporters on behalf of the Democratic nominee to urge support, but he advised against turning over the e-mail addresses.
The privacy policy on the Dean for America blog says "We do not share our mailing lists with non-political third parties; however, we may share your information with other like-minded Democratic candidates and organizations."
Looks like anyone who's given their email address to the cause can expect SPAM for lunch.
