Will Sandy be Obama's greatest strength?

As we all know, politicians can't really ever be anything other than politicians.

So does it come as a surprise that Obama, with just a week out of the big event (election time), has cancelled all his rally's and visits to key states, so he can be with the people, emergency services and those affected by Hurricane Sandy?

Will this in fact be a great political move and help him secure another term?

 

Social media and politics - can it be combined?

We stumbled upon this and wanted to share it.

Although this article looks at the socialmediasphere within American politics, does 'twittering', 'liking' and 'following' have similar influence here in Britain to help those in power gain the people's vote and support?

Does social media influence British politics to the same degree? http://mashable.com/2012/10/02/social-media-and-local-politics/
