Presidential Election Campaign - 2012 Style

Many people attributed Obama's campaign success to the clever use of online campaigning in 2008. Many political analyst or pundit asserted that the Obama camp mastered campaigning to the Facebook generation. He raised money via Facebook, spread his message all over Youtube, and appealed to the younger voters who were otherwise disinterested in "just another election". All political issues/belief aside, his campaign worked like magic.

Now with the 2012 presidential primary going in full-swing for the GOP, one can't help but notice these candidates campaigning all over the internet. In fact, can they afford to NOT campaign, promote, and raise fund through the internet? Most likely NOT.

Online streaming videos, along with news site that streams live debate videos, are wonderful. These sites enable users to check out the presidential debate at their own leisure. No more worry about missing the show. It's a beautiful thing.
