Our group's topic investigates how social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc. played a role in the 2008 US Presidential election. We intend to look at the data regarding various candidates' use of these media, and theorize how this use could have affected voter turnout and candidate preference, especially among younger voters who are more active on social networking sites.
My main question would be whether you think we should look more at the quantitative info regarding the 2008 election turnout or focus more on the news stories and information that the media reported on social networking during the election itself?
