You can’t underestimate how Obama got young people involved. I’ll say this much about the guy. He or his team at least understands younger voters better than most candidates.

The bottom line is that Obama’s campaign understood that things have changed since the 1990’s. Obama’s campaign understood that, and they knew how to leverage the new media landscape.

It’s why he raised an insane amount of money just from small donors and why he was able to reject federal matching funds. He ran the first truly internet-savvy campaign.
