I think that social networks like myspace or facebook will have a big effect on the election. It's a very easy way to get to teenagers. McCain & Obama are plastered all over Myspace and Facebook. You can watch videos, read both candidates views, or even join groups that support whoever your choice is. Both sides are shown about the same. It's a good way to get young people involved in politics and exercise their power to vote. Our generation has a big percent of the vote, and involving politics with Myspace and Facebook is a great way to gain support.
MiVote is a great way to give our opinions and put them out there for everyone to see. In Tim Murphy's presentation, he said hundreds of people visit the MiVote site. What better way to get your views out there to everyone around you? And they sometimes show videos that students make on Detroit Public Television. MiVote is a way to express how we feel and to show that we actually care about the election and our nation.
Most of my friends, including myself, have either joined a McCain or Obama group on Facebook. Personally, I joined a McCain/Palin group. But two of my best friends are in an Obama group. Even though we're not all voting for the same person, we all still talk about politics 24/7. Joining one of these politcal groups is a great way to get involved with the upcoming election.
