Obama

One of the huge differences between Obama and John McCains campaigns in last years election were the way they used the internet. McCain used things such as google ads to advertise his campaign on websites. Obama used newer options such as Social Networking. This made Obama available to more people online. He was all over blogs. All over Myspace and facebook. People couldn’t stop talking about him everywhere! This type of campaign advertising is a lot more trusted than click ads. People get used to seeing google ads everywhere and tend to not pay attention to them, but no one is going to ignore entire posts written about Obama. I think it had a lot to do with him winning. Also the way he used the internet and social networking to get his stances on issues out there. It made it easy to find out exactly the positions he was running on and weather or not we agreed with them. McCains ads were all much different. If he had made himself more available and made less ads attacking his opponents he might have had more luck with voters. I definitely think Obamanomics helped in Obama winning the Presidential Election last year. More politicians should pay attention to the way he marketed his campaign online. They could learn a lot from it!
