Well, it’s the first week of 2008 and that can mean only one thing… PRIMARY SEASON! The political debates are heating up in the office after a thrilling night of watching the Iowa Caucus results. Even though we all have differing opinions on who is the most capable to be our next President, we all agree on one thing—this election will be won be the candidate who can best engage and inspire young voters. Thus, we are thrilled, and urge all of you, to check out the Facebook/ABC debates this Saturday. And while we could not be happier that candidates, and the political arena in general, are utilizing Social Media, this is something we have seem coming for quite some time. In fact, I was feeling a bit nostalgic and found an article at MTV.com entitled Gen Y Turning To Web, Turning Off CNN, For Political News that discusses the power of Web 2.0 in politics and includes Carrot’s own Mike Germano and Mike Radparvar.
