Campaign Trails 2.0


The web continues to play an important role in the '08 election -- giving candidates a way to reconnect with "the people" in ways that they haven't since the arrival of television. Mashable wrote about a new campaign tactic Obama is using that leverages the power of MySpace.

"Barack Obama is ramping up his MySpace presence to include state-specific profiles for communicating more directly with local supporters. What’s more, Obama is reaching out to the community even further by selecting a MySpace user to have dinner with him, and grant them the opportunity to discuss political issues."
