For my Writing 150 class, I have to write a research paper that involves media in some way. As I began thinking about this, I struggled thinking of a topic that I would be interested in. After spending a while thinking about it, I ran out of ideas. Giving up for the day, I returned home not even thinking about the class. It was later that night as I watched the 2012 Presidential debate that my topic hit me.
I am going to be writing on the effect that social media had on the 2008 Presidential Elections. President Obama changed the way we vote. His ability to use facebook, twitter, and blogs was astronomical in the election process. I am excited to look at the evidence and make conclusions that will affect the upcoming elections.
Great Topic. I believe that he won most of the younger population's vote because of his ablility to use facebook, twitter, and blogs.
