It’s not only Oprah anymore. Actress Scarlett Johansson has jumped aboard the Barack Obama train. She even gave a speech supporting the presidential candidate right before the crucial Iowa rally on January 2nd. The Obama Campaign avoided publicizing her appearance or involving her in the official program, but she spoke at a separate, small gathering to rally young voters. Obama’s camp is really trying to influence Generation Y, made up of high schoolers, since people can caucus at age 17. It’s the only campaign to launch an official Facebook application to organize and gather data about potential caucus goers. And today Facebook announced its official Facebook Primary in a joint project with MoveOn.org, the Hip Hop Caucus and the League of Young Voters. Part of the idea is that users will get a kick out of competing in their own networks, or discover that some long lost friend is backing the same candidate, which they’d never know otherwise.
