By setting up hubs for republican and democratic candidates for the presidential election of 2008, young voters will have the opportunity to become educated about the candidates. I can foresee an increase in the number of young voters by directly involving them. Online friends will become competitive with each other and feel that their vote will make a difference in the outcome of the election. I believe everyone who is eligible should vote, but they should also be informed voters. The hubs will provide information and attract young voters across America. There are many positive aspects of this new addition to MySpace. However, I believe some young voters will connect with the candidates based on their zodiac sign or favorite movie while disregarding their motives and values which will impact the nation for the next four years
