MySpace to Host Presidential Primary

MySpace will host its own presidential primary on January 1-2, 2008. Advance polls will be conducted as well. If the number of friends is any indication of who will win, Barack Obama, by far, will crush the competition. He’s got over 90,000 friends. The next closest is John Edwards with 17,070. Separately, the thought of MySpace actually influencing a Presidential election is, well, odd to say the least. Or not. Depending upon how you view social media and its impact.

One could argue MySpace is just a collection of teens uploading risque photos of themselves for middle aged horny men to slather over. Conversely, one could argue that’s just a bad generalization and MySpace members are socially connected people and representative of society in general. If you ask us, we’d like nothing more than the convenience of voting for President from the comfort of home without having to deal with crowds and grumpy local officials.
