1. Both Obama and McCain set up official channels for their campaigns on Youtube. The Internet and Campaign 2008 said that 39% of voters watched campaign videos during the election. This was a very good idea for both candidates, since the internet has become more and more popular-epically Youtube. People would rather watch videos, instead of going on campaign sites. Senator Obama got a total of 1.9 billion views while McCain only received 1.1 billion views. I think Obama put out more videos that people found more interesting. This helped him receive more views. The video McCain put out about the celebrities and comparing Obama to them, I feel hurt McCain.
2. All over the world the internet is very easy to access. This makes it more convenient for people to watch videos. I think it is good for voters to have access 24/7, this makes an easier decision for the voter. Some people don't have time to watch the news to find out what is going on. So for most I feel it is more convenient for them to go on Youtube. I think this can be very positive for candidates, the internet is a great way to spread information. The internet can definitely help get any message across that the candidate wants people to hear.
