Campaign advantage over internet
The internet is living up to its potential as a major source for news about the presidential campaign. Nearly a quarter of Americans 24.2% say they regularly learn something about the campaign from the internet, almost double the percentage from a comparable point in the 2004 campaign which was just 13%. Moreover, the internet has now become a leading source of campaign news for young people and the role of social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook is a notable part of the story. The proportion of Americans who say they regularly learn about the campaign from the internet has more than doubled since 2000 – from 9% to 24%. Everybody uses internet as a source of information, at least people who have acces to it. With more young people going online for campaign information, the age gap in campaign news sources has widened.The internet is the only major news source that young people use for campaign news at higher rates than older Americans . People who rely on the internet for campaign news turn to a wide array of websites. The most frequently mentioned online news outlets are MSNBC, CNN, and Yahoo News.

The second presidential Debate
The debate was definitely tensed from the beginning to the end. But through out the debate the republicain candidate Mccain was really way too agressive. he was attacknig Mr Obama in every chance he got during the debate. Mr Obama as well educated as he has always been, stayed calm through the debate and was speaking really well about all the questions asked. Most of the debate was based on the economy issue that United States is going through. U.S has not been down in economy since the recession of 1929. Both of the presidents need to communicate their plan to solve the economy issue of the country. I think Obama has great plans for the country, and i believe he will make a change. Obama was speaking with confidence and telling about his while he was being attacked by by Mccain. The third and last debate is coming really soon and that is when many voters will decide who to vote for.
The Media's Bias on the campaign
The media does bias the campaign because people get the news from the media. Most of people believe whatever the media says without verification. For instance, Fox news, they are completely republican and they won't say anything good about Obama's campaign. If there is any democrat who watch the Fox news all the time, they might end up not liking Obama anymore or even vote for Mccain. The news on television allow people to know what is going on in the world it could be true or false. When it comes to the campaign i think people should make sure of what they hear from the news before they believe it. CNN news, they are more liberal, they usually tell it the way it is, and i think people should watch it more to get full understanding of what is going on. We have been hearing many things from the news about the candidates some of them are true some of them are not, so i think people should verify evrything they hear from the news before they just belive it.

The Vice-Presidents Debate
The Vice-Presidents debate which had taken place last week, was really tensed. Joe Biden who is democratic vice-president was way more experienced than the republican vice-president Sarah Palin. Sarah palin has been lately popular on national television like a hollywood celebrity, but all that fame is not going to win the election for her president John Mccain. The Debate was really interesting. It was easy to know that Joe Biden was the strongest leader of the debate because he has shown that he knows his job, and also have before dealt with international issues. basically, he is prepared to be the next vice-president of the United States. On the other hand, Sarah did not much about what she was saying, she was reading notes to go through th debate, that was really interesting at all. someone like that cannot be elected to run the greatest country of the world.
