Social networking sites, such as MySpace and Facebook, have entered the political landscape in a big way — promoting online voter registration and dedicating areas of the network for political discussion and comment on the upcoming presidential primaries. But users are going one step further — using their own networks to find like-minded individuals and attract undecided voters to their cause.
Non-official MySpace pages that promote candidates, political parties and specific ideologies are proliferating. A search of MySpace pages that include the name Hillary Clinton returns more than 45,000 separate users.
