Cyberspace presidential candidacy!
According to Chris Lefkow from Agence France Presse, Barack Obama would win over McCain if the presidential election was held in cyberspace.
"No other candidate has ever integrated the full picture the way Obama has, and that's whats really new about his campaign."
Obama, a 47 year old man verses the oldest man ever if elected to a first term as president, John McCain, 72 years old, has raised tens of millions of dollars and has used the internet for social networking to get volunteers and to reach millions of people.
"The Illinois senator has over 1.9 million supporters on Facebook.com compared to Arizona senator's 550,000 while over on the rival social network MySpace.com, Obama has over 650,000 friends to McCains's 150,000."
When comparing their videosharing on YouTube, Obama is well ahead again with 16.6 million video views verses McCain's 1.6 million.
Obama has been able to connect to his viewers by including photosharing site called "Flickr" in his Facebook, MySapce, Twitter and YouTube accounts, which shows 2,100 pages of Obama-related pictures.
This has led to other social groups such as:
"African-American (blackplanet.com, Gays and Lesbians (glee.com), Latinos (migente.com), and Asian-Americans (asianave.com) linking and having official Obama pages on their soical networking sites." To top off how Obama continues to reach out to the public in the begining of October he launched an application for the Apple iPone called "Obama '08" and what this allows iphone users to do is track down Obama Headquarters and find local campaign events.
It is evident that Barack Obama would would by a landslide if the presidential election was done in cyberspace!
