Jodi's Favorite Group Blog: "On one hand, 28% of wired Americans say that the internet makes them feel more personally connected to the campaign, and 22% say that they would not be as involved in the campaign if not for the internet. At the same time, however, even larger numbers feel that the internet magnifies the most extreme viewpoints and is a source of misinformation for many voters."

That is an interesting point, in the next couple of years do you think this will stay true or will it continue to shift in the direction of the internet as a constructive thing for politics?

I imagine the internet gradually becoming more constructive in the purpose it serves for politics. No question that there is a huge gap of misinformation out there.
