Hi,
Thanks for this list.But in India all the leaders are just up to 60 may be Rahul Gandhi is young leaders.Obama gave new vision to the World using Social media for election campaign.But in India 80% population is not aware about Internet then how to possible spread this campaign on Internet?
it is spreading by the year and one day it will be wide spread..
obama’s campaign was totally on net because there the people r totally on the net…
but in india much is to be done and much is happening..
slowly we will rise…
no worries…
there is hope….we shall rise…
ya the campaigns r very much likable..
but they failed miserably…
the turn out was really very low or say same to same as u see other years…
