This years Presidential election has seen a serious melding of Technology and politics.  This melding has been led by one candidate, Barack Obama.  The Obama campaign has been very good at reaching voters, in particular young voters, through a medley of new online technologies.

That didn’t stop with choosing his running mate.  The candidate announced that he would announce his running mate with text messages to all that signed up.  When it happened, 2.9 million subscribers received the news that Joe Biden was his choice, a feat that Nielson Ratings says is the largest mobile marketing event ever.
