As social media is almost mainstream, it’s imperative for politicians to penetrate this exponentially growing channel.  In today’s politics, social media probably won’t have too much of an impact on the results of an election; but I anticipate that it will be a tremendous opportunity for future incumbents to tap into a new demographic.
