I watched Friday night as people that I would have never engaged in political discussions with were posting comments on Facebook and Twitter. Think about it - Facebook was in its infancy during the last election and MySpace wasn't being used for these kinds of conversations. YouTube didn't even exist yet! I predict that the dialog on Facebook is going to reach a fever pitch as we race toward the finish line. After the election, I think the mainstream media is going to look back and ask 'what just happened here and why didn't we see it coming?' The polls do not reflect the reality of today's political climate. Elections will never be the same again. I think social media has changed the game in politics, and very few people realize it.
