<h4>Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post, the number one blog on the Internet declared her <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/im-ready-to-declare-a-win_b_140625.html" target="_blank">winner</a> for the 2008 Presidential Election.</h4>
<p>Twitter, a micro blogging service has real time conversations with its <a href="http://election.twitter.com/" target="_blank">Election 2008</a> custom website.</p>
<p>You can then go to <a href="http://twitvote.twitmarks.com/" target="_blank">TwitVote</a> and vote in a mock opinion-poll for voting for Election 2008.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/election08/" target="_blank" class="broken_link">Facebook</a> will help you find your polling place and for those who don&#8217;t know you can still register and vote If you live in Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, or Wyoming.</p>
<p>CNN has an <a href="http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/president/" target="_blank">Interactive Map</a> of the United States for updates on the Presidential election as well as customizing that page to show all the different races in every state.</p>
<p>Here is the Barack Obama&#8217;s <a href="http://my.barackobama.com" target="_blank">website</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/BarackObamadotcom" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a> John McCcain&#8217;s <a href="http://www.johnmccain.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/JohnMcCaindotcom" target="_blank">Youtube Channel</a></p>

<div id="27615ff9-7156-48a5-a0a3-4471e70b91fd" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;">
<div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRY720HE0DE&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" target="_new"><img src="http://2thenextlevel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/windowslivewriterweb20election2008historyinthemaking-8c08videoeb835250ca0c.jpg" alt="" /></a></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Last but not least there was even a social media marketing case study created by Social CRM Expert Brent Leary and Internet Marketing Expert David Bullock. <a href="http://www.barack20.com" target="_blank">Barack20.com</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.barack20.com/" target="_blank"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px; border-right-width: 0px" src="http://2thenextlevel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/windowslivewriterweb20election2008historyinthemaking-8c08b20-logo-3.png" border="0" alt="b20_logo" width="244" height="180" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>This study helps small businesses understand how Barack Obama used social media to market himself. Brent and David used their blog to give</p>
<p>audio lesson on how small businesses can use social media to further their business as well.</p>
<p>We first reported on this study when it was just a <a href="http://2thenextlevel.com/blog/2008/07/04/webinar-obama-social-media-and-your-business/" target="_blank">webinar</a> but has now grown into so much more.</p>
<p>Brent and David were recently featured in the November issue of <a href="http://www.blackenterprise.com/business/" target="_blank">Black Enterprise</a> and are in the midst of launching their first</p>
<p>seminar in a local city near you. We will keep you posted on what happens next for <a href="http://www.barack20.com" target="_blank">Barack20</a> after the election.</p>
<p>The main thing that everyone should understand is that the 2008 Elections has used Web 2.0 technology and made the Internet better for us all.<br />
We are so much more informed and knowledgeable about our local and national candidates. This can only help us make the best choices for the leadership of our country.</p>
<p>So if you have not done so yet. Please get out and Vote!</p>
<p>All the best</p>
