Social Media

I believe that the affect of social media on presidential elections is most profound on sites such as Reddit and YouTube  This is because lots of people go on these sites and lots of information is being dropped on the masses. People frequently talk politics on these sites which I feel makes them influence the elections far more than Facebook or Twitter. Twitter is greatly deceiving because most of the political candidates followers aren't  real people (http://gawker.com/58269600). I personally don't think Facebook is as politically focused as Reddit and YouTube because Facebook has an entirely different purpose.
