I have written a bit about MySpace and Marketing – MySpace and Marketing and Product Placement and MySpace.

But MySpace is not for promoting the latest movies and gadgets anymore – now politicians are moving in. According to this article, Political candidates court MySpace voters, many political hopefuls are creating MySpace profiles are are using MySpace to reach potential voters.

The article says that:

“In many ways, these free, user-driven community sites are to this year’s races what blogs were to campaigns two years ago. They are not replacements for traditional staples like TV ads and direct mailings, but they offer the latest venues for campaigns to reach younger voters and mobilize them to volunteer.”

What do you think? Is MySpace going to help get politicians elected?
