7. A fundamental understanding of communication has always been at the
center of a politician's arsenal, but a firm grasp on the future of
communication can be the secret weapon that wins the war. For Franklin D.
Roosevelt, it was radio. For John F. Kennedy, it was television. And for
Barack Obama, it is social media.
Obama has taken grassroots campaigning into the digital age by embracing
Web 2.0 and using it as a central platform of his presidential campaign.
From social media savvy to YouTube to social networking, Obama has
navigated Web 2.0 and turned it into a major force within his campaign.
