Before we can discuss how greatly the upcoming elections will be impacted by internet sources like facebook and youtube, we hate to look what it has already done. One of youtube's biggest political productions has been a rap style music video with a very alluring female singing for Ney York senator Rudy Juliana. This laid ground for the more recent Obama girl, and instantly created a youthful, but politically driven crowd to follow. i believe and statistics show that there internet sources have pulled in large numbers during political races, especially within college students. During the last presidential race Obama won almost all states dominated with our nation’s colleges. Was this due to Obama’s push for political presents within the internet world. I believe so, and for future years to come we will see how the internet will become the main source for political debate and conquest. Unfortunately all rules still apply, these same outlets used for the benefit of any political campaign can also cripple their chances. I still remember reading about a small town mayor having a myspace account that made her loss her position. The mayors beach bikini shot that was her profile main picture drew controversy over her seriousness as a mayor and resulted in her, basically permanent detachment from the political world. If you are a constant user of facebook you may be aware of its recent problems it faces with its users. Facebook released information stating that all video’s, pictures etc. posted on the site can be saved and used by them in a later date. So naturally this bothered people, and you can see how many pictures of you while you are at the adventurous ages of 18-22 can squander any political driven career you wish to have in a future. You can see how just one of these internet sources can impact a person who is interested in a political career let alone how beneficial these cited are to them once your in that political world.
