The Obama campaign used technology to their advance during the March 4th primaries. He ended up winning that division with a significant lead over Hilary Clinton. Hilary Clinton also used the web but had far less supporters. The Obama camp used technology to surpass her. MyBO(the Obama website) garnered so many donations that it set a record. Throughout the entire political season. Obama used the media and technology to their advantage and won the hearts of many. I think that this was a very effective method because many Americans were keeping up with the election and the debate through the internet. He was able to reach millions of people. The site also made it very easy to donate money by giving the credit card option and signing up for a monthly newsletter. The Obama speeches were veiwed millions of time on social networking sites such as youtube and Myspace. President Obama proved that the Internet is very powerful and useful. It can also tear you down if you take what the comments say to heart.
