Finally, the famous race for the White House has come to an end. Barack Hussein Obama was elected as USA's 44th president on 04/11/2008, sweeping away the last racial barrier in American politics with ease as the country chose him as its first black chief executive.
It's so like Malaysian election, where a big and permanent change has taken place. The people are showing their will to change, through votes.
Well if you insist to point out the difference, Malaysian Chinese, unlike Obama (Black), will not have the chance to own the PM's office.

In Malaysia, The opposition DAP, PKR & PAS have achieved the best performance in Malaysia history against BN. And now, the Democrats in USA has challenged the strongholds of Republican.
The size and makeup of the electorate has been changed because the efforts by Democrats to register and turn out new black, Hispanic and young voters. This shift may have long-lasting ramifications for what the parties do to build enduring coalitions, especially if intensive and technologically-driven voter turnout programs succeed in getting more people to the polls.
Internet, has defintely become a new media in politics.
Obama campaign sought to understand and harness the Internet to organize supporters and to reach voters who no longer rely primarily on information from newspapers and television. The platforms included YouTube, which did not exist in 2004, and the cellphone text message that the campaign was sending out to supporters on Monday to remind them to vote.

Additionally, Obama’s success at using the Internet has built a huge network of contributors that permitted him to raise enough money (which after declining to participate in the public financing system) to expand the map and compete in traditionally Republican states.
Check on this and this.
See how important is Internet?
It has rewritten the rules on how to reach voters, raise money, organize supporters, manage the news media, track public opinion, raise political attacks, with a lot carried by blogs that did not exist four years ago.

Similarly, blogs have raised the attention of Malaysian during the March election as well. Sadly, at here we don't have much freedom in blogging. However, despite the control by government, people are still slowly turning to blog, politicans (the brave one) and entrepreneurs are joining the forces as well. Even Tony Fernandes blogs too! And AirAsia itself blogs too wtf, believe it or not it's a new wave in marketing your products and services.
How good is it if I have this kind of question on my exam paper. *sigh*
