After the long road of debates, town hall meetings, state caucuses’, and primary elections; it looks as if Barack Obama has secured the nomination to run as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. Hillary Clinton is expected to suspend her campaign efforts on Friday.
Hillary Clinton said even though she didn’t get the nomination, she isn’t going anywhere. She still plans on working in politics; she may even run as Vice President. There have been rumors that Obama may ask her to run as his Vice President.
The 2008 election has been more extensively covered than any other presidential election in history. With all the new technology available and different avenues to hear the news it is almost impossible not to be informed as to what is going on. Politics have become a big part of Pop Culture.
The 2008 election is very different from others in the past. This election includes the first female running for president and the first African American. In many ways these facts could have contributed to the popularity of this race.
Politics in the last few years have entered the pop culture scene more than in the past due to the changes in issues and how everything is much more heavily covered. With the introduction of new technology like the internet and personal communication devices like the Black Berry, it is much easier to be in the know.
