Twitter?
So today in class we talked about the different types of interactive media the two presidential campaigns are using. We found out that both candidates have twitter accounts. Barak Obama has 103,000 followers while John McCain had only 3,800 followers. This only proves to me that Obama really has won over the younger audience. It was said that McCain is not so focused on the younger generation because he knows that they already support Obama. The twitter accounts are just an example of the different demographics that each party is focusing their attention on and which demographics each of them has won over. I personally am not affiliated with any party but it is pretty cool to see how these types of interactive media really reach out to the younger crowds and it does show effort at least from both parties.

i think that this election is the first election that each candidate have forcused on certain demographic to excute thier campaign. well i guess exception of the kenedy campaign which forccused on seducing the woman to win over thier heart. but anyway, my point is that usually when a person trys to get people to vote them to be the president, they had been forcused on winning as many people's vote as they can. but this election is different. i think targetting the audience is the fundamental strategy to win someone but when i saw that on presidential election campaign i was little astonished.
