Myspace in 2008?

More than in any other election, the internet is becoming a viable source for candidates to promote themselves. Like in previous years, candidates have their own websites where supporters can follow their every step and even join their "team" to help advertise. Since the last election however, new websites such as Youtube and Myspace have developed large user bases and the candidates have taken notice.

On Youtube, a channel with the banner, "You Choose '08" was created which allows for candidates to feature their own videos so that anyone with an internet connection, can educate themselves on the upcoming election.

And if watching videos is not to your liking, many candidates have Myspace pages. On Myspace's newly opened presidential section, you can view the Myspaces of many of the candidates running in 2008.

With the internet playing such a large role in this next election, I think that 2008 will mark the year of where and how elections will be won. Heck, at least this year although I may not know many of the issues, at least I'll know Senator Barack Obama is a Leo.
