Social Networking in the Democratic Party Week 20: Tracking the electronic campaign.

Social Networking sites are primarily used by millions of e-generationers, computer age adults of late teens through thirty somethings, to communicate with friends and family. But this presidential election cycle many e-generationers are doing something different with these social networking sites, they are showing their political support on their personal pages so that all can see. And I am here to compare the amount of support each candidate has so far.

This is the weekly report on how the Democratic Presidential Candidates are faring in the world of Social Networking.

Social Networking in the Democratic Party Week 19: Tracking the electronic campaign.

Starting this week I have added Facebook to the list of Social Networking sites I will be tracking. This will give us 3 major sites that are being used by the democratic campaigns to drum up support for their respective campaigns. By watching these sites you can spot trends forming and who knows maybe one of the lower tier candidates might catch fire online and catapult themselves to the front of the pack come January.

Which Presedential Candidate votes the way that you would vote?

With the 2008 Presidential Election fast approaching it is time to know your candidates before you cast that all important vote for one of them. One issue doesn't make a candidate, it is the combination of all the issues as a whole that should be your decider.

Mainstream media picks frontrunners and plasters their faces front and center for everyone to see. But do they really vote for your values? The best way to find out is to dig through their past voting records to see their history on the issues. That can be a daunting task digging through past votes at many different levels of politics. Thankfully there is a site that has eliminated all the work for us and we just answer a few questions and it spits out the data.

Try it out for yourself, it may suprise you who has voted when it counts the way you would have voted. Click the link and it will open up a new window.

There was a mix up this past week on MySpace. It turns out that Barack Obama campaign was using a supportor made profile as his campaign profile. The supportor made profile is now not part of the campaign, as the campaign officially launched a campaign profile. Due to this situation I have dropped Obama from the top spot in which he occupied the first 4 weeks down to 3rd spot in the power rankings. Hillary Clinton is now on top of the power rankings. Clinton had a great week distancing herself from the pack by adding (26,556) new friends this week. John Edwards is staying steady so I bumped him up to 2nd place this week in wake of the Obama fallout. The second tier candidate race is beginning to get interesting as it seems Dennis Kucinich's campaign is really working on maximizing his exposure with the social networks. Kucinich had a very strong week by adding (5,986) new friends this week, if this continues we could see him challenging the big 3 this summer. For the rest of the second tier, everything remained pretty steady with Joe Biden continuing to close in on Bill Richardson with Chris Dodd stumbling around hopelessly.

Barack Obama reclaimed the top spot on YouTube as he had yet another strong week. The suprise of the week was Dennis Kucinich, as he had the most new subscriptions (462). Kucinich is becoming a a favorite on YouTube as he has responded directly back to several other YouTubers. That could become a trademark of the Kucinich campaign if he continues with the brillant idea. Due to his strong showing I moved Kucinich up to 2nd place to see if he can repeat his showing. John Edwards' run of great weeks slowed quite abit so he feel down to 3rd in the power rankings. Hillary Clinton is not making as big of splash as other canididates on video but as of right now she don't need to. Second tier candidates lost Dennis Kucinich for at least a week but added Mike Gravel. Gravel was finally added to the YouChoose promotion which now makes him a factor. Joe Biden moved past Bill Richardson for 5th spot this week as this looks to be a long term dogfight. Gravel entered in 7th place in the power rankings as he has a nice stash of subscriptions(678). Chris Dodd is just not making any ground in either social network and probally will be holding the rear down for some time.
