This video was posted by YouTube username johnedwards and explains the process of voting in a caucus. It is actually pretty funny - it even reminds people to record the Orange Bowl game (to remind people that instead of just not voting and watching the game, they can vote and still watch the game when they get home). I thought this to be a good example of the changing face of campaigning - this particular part of internet politics has a positive outcome because it enhances the political awareness of those who might not otherwise attempt to understand these processes.
I wanted to then see if I could find other videos that explain the nomination process. After all - I think that the main reason that people may not vote or may not be interested in politics at all is that they do not understand and therefor feel overwhelmed by the entire topic. The video that is posted below is actually pretty boring - but it is still informative. It is actually filmed at DU too! The video is a good example of how people can use the internet in order to find information about particular topics (internet politics and collective intelligence).

This is my first year voting in a presidential election, so when I went to caucas I had to idea (or how to spell it for that matter - still haven't learned) what I was doing. But I went online and found out through the channel 9 website, which I went to because I saw it on tv while I was watching their broadcast. And it helped me out and gave me the info i needed!
This video also sums up the process pretty well.
