After Birch Bayh's 1980 defeat, Robert Blaemire founded a political action commit­tee, The Committee for American Principles, an organization seeking to combat the growing role and influence of the New Right in political campaigns. He began his career providing political computer services in 1982, eventually joining with and starting the Washington Office of Below, Tobe & Associates. During the three plus decades he worked in this area of politics, his clients included the Dukakis for President Campaign, both Clinton-Gore campaigns, Gore-Lieberman, Kerry-Edwards and dozens of Governor, Senate, Congres­sional, Mayoral and local campaigns and state Democratic Parties in 26 states.

In 1991, Bob created Blaemire Communications, a political computer services firm serving Democratic campaigns, progressive organizations and political consultants. During that time, Blaemire Communications managed more Democratic state party voter file projects than any other vendor. In 2003, Blaemire Communications introduced Leverage, an on-line voter file management system that was used extensively across the country in Democratic campaigns. In late 2007, Blaemire Communications was acquired by Catalist. He served there as Director of Business Development until leaving at the end of 2016 to pursue other consulting and writing opportunities. Bob’s first book Birch Bayh: Making a Difference, was published in 2019, a biography of his former boss, Senator Birch Bayh.

Bob lives in Rockville, Maryland and has two sons, Nick and Dan, two daughters-in-law, Ana and Carly, and two grandchildren, Cooper and Faye.
