Playbook <http://www.politico.com/playbook/>:

    *SIREN --- DEMS GETTING DATA JUMP ON 2016*: The Obama campaign
    continues to refine, update and expand its vast database, working
    the muscle to increase its value for 2014 and 2016. The organization
    wants to avoid a post-2008 lull, when Obama's high command was so
    focused on building a government and staving off a depression that
    some in the grassroots network felt neglected. This time, supporters
    are already being asked if they are interested in running for
    office, and "how many hours per week" they would be willing "to
    volunteer in your community as part of an Obama organization."
