Digital Election?

According to AdAge Daily, the internet (come on, YouTube debates, are we really surprised???) is well on its way to becoming the prominent means for getting information on both candidates and elections. Granted, the internet is, of course, the go-to location to access a world of information (yes, corny, i know), but with the sharp rise in popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace since the 2004 elections, the way that we are interacting with candidates is changing as well. I could go to MySpace and "friend" the candidates, information about which would be linked from their campaign home page. I could also find them on MySpace and link to their campaign homepage. I think that the levels of potential involvement are helping make this feel like a more interactive election, and I personally hope that the numbers from the polls will show this in November, too.
