And I really believe this is truly written by heart.

My thoughts earlier were about the 'conventional' media's potential impact by announcing results before the voting is closed. http://blogs.birminghampost.net/business/2008/11/the-power-of-the-media-brand-r.html I suppose that because social media is true citizen journalism it is less prone to manipulation by a few and providing a barometer of public opinion actually produces a nation of better-informed voters. Interesting.

It's not a sample, it's just self-nominated: whoever wants to take it, takes it. Since it's fairly agreeable Obama has done more online campaigning, it's safe to say that there's a bias of people who have taken that poll. In fact, no poll is truly accurate: randomness is extremely hard to obtain. Basically, nobody knows who's gonna win. That’s a bit of a nonrandom poll.

Even if the margin of error is huge this and other web sites are predicting a much bigger Obama win than the traditional media outlets.

My only concern is the international focus of user generated media. It's exceeds far beyond the US and could therefore be very skewed. Let's hope not eh?
