On March 31, Barack Obama will be campaigning live in living rooms throughout the U.S. Demonstrating yet again how his campaign is different in more ways than one, he will hold a live Webcast from the living room of an Iowa family that can be viewed live online. Obama's campaign is encouraging supporters and opposers alike to hold small parties to watch the Webcast and then hold open discussions.
For those who register their event with the Barack Obama campaign, they will receive a kit of materials, including a DVD on Obama's campaign. This is unique to campaigning. As a registered supporter, I received both a phone call and e-mail from his campaign office yesterday urging me to hold an event. I live in a small apartment, so that's not really an option. But on his Web site are a list of registered events by zip code, and many invite other people to attend their event. I plan to attend an area event to view the Web cast and see what it's all about.
The Webcast will be held at 3 p.m. on March 31. Click on the title of this blog for the info about this posted on Obama's Web site.

This sounds like a really cool idea. It's so amazing how campaigns have changed with the advancement of technology, and how it has made it easier for candidates to speak to voters, whether it's on Facebook or MySpace or a Webcast.
That is so interesting. I really like the idea of holding events and discussions. I think it's a smart approach to both inform and motivate voters.
