New Media Could Make Or Break Presidential Race–”LISTEN”

Sarah Palin has almost a half-million Twitter followers. Mitt Romney announced his presidential exploratory committee in a Web video. And on Wednesday, President Obama is visiting Facebook’s California headquarters for a virtual town hall meeting.
Though Obama’s Facebook visit isn’t officially a campaign event, there’s no denying that new media are going to have a huge impact on the 2012 presidential election — and not necessarily in the ways you would expect.

I agree that will play a big part in the 2012 election. In fact, that was a very vital part of Obama’s campaign in 2008. He had an advantage over McCain for that very reason. Obama had a very large internet base, something that McCain did not, helping Obama attract much of the youth vote.
Hopefully, Republicans will take full advantage of that in this election.
