Definition

  • At no other time in the history of American politics has the Internet been considered such a major factor in the mobilization of the electorate than during the 2008 election. From the grassroots fund-raising efforts of the Obama campaign to the mass mobilization activities to get supporters in many localities to engage in various political participation activities, the Internet was indeed a force in bringing about the success of Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
