FB and Twitter: The New Face of TX Campaigns

As the Nov. elections approach, it has become obvious that the candidates have been working to reach voters through their social networks to the fullest potential. Both candidates, Perry and White, have been keeping up with their Facebook and Twitter accounts to deliver their messages to the Texas audience.

Although the two cadidates have been using focusing on different social media platforms (White with Facebook and Perry with Twitter), both feel that they have made a stronger personal connection with their voters by having "real" conversation.

But will the use of social media bring more people (especially young people) to the polls on voting day? And who has been more effective in their social media campaign to governor? I guess, we'll see on Nov. 3.
