The 2008 U.S. Presidential Election is shaping up to be not only interesting, but historically significant as well. Never before have we had such a diverse group of candidates running for the highest office in the United States.
It is possible that when the dust clears we will find ourselves with a minority representative in the White House. A woman or a black President would be a huge historic event that will change the future of our country and the way politics are conducted. Very exciting times indeed!
This election will also see a change in the way campaigns are conducted as the internet becomes important for the first time in Presidential campaign history. We’ve already begun to see the candidates getting out to “meet” their constituents on MySpace, YouTube and similar social platforms. As the election nears I expect we will see this type of campaigning continuing and even increasing.
This poll is just one small example of how the internet can be used to involve the voters in the race. Take a few seconds and let us know who you think our next U.S. President will be.
