I read this article online about how social media such as Facebook and YouTube has greatly affected electoral races and specifically the Atlanta Mayoral race and the last presidential election. The author comments on how many people who he interviewed state that they rarely watch candidates debate on TV anymore, but rather participate in online activities and news reports through social sites. Most people are finding their information on these sites and discussing it with people through Facebook. Many people also show their political pride for their chosen candidate through their own profile.
