I think Obama's characteristics were really powerful in bringing about a new group of voters who had stayed silent in previous elections. He inspired minority voters to make their voices heard and inspired young people to help bring about change. Obama was a fresh face in politics, and he inspired some fresh groups of people to vote.
I think Obama did a really good job in using the internet to appeal to more voters who usually do not vote and also he was a fresh face and has new ideas of america being one
