Friends don't let friends vote alone

Recent pools have shown the President opening a lead in the race for the Presidency.

Public perceptions of the candidates are largely created by media reporting. In 2008, as now, there seems to be a tilt in reporting that favors the President. But there are far more sources of information, a new media, available, that counters the mainstream media sources.

Politico reports that Facebook’s efforts to encourage users to vote drove more than 300,000 voters across the U.S. to the polls in November 2010, according to a new study. Facebook study.

The 2010 elections were decidedly contrary to the President's needs, yet, without him on the ticket, the mainstream media found it difficult to use him to influence elections. Democrats were left to create yard signs bearing Obama's name, directing people to vote. The results suggest people were confused when his name didn't appear on the ballot.

If your friends, and your friends friends see a message directing them to vote, and they know who you are voting for, they may show up at the polls and vote with you.

One party votes early and often. You and your friends, should vote first, then post early and often.
