His Tumblr is going to gain many followers and submissions around the country and will be one to watch as his election nears. People are allowed to click on the donate button and send a few paragraphs about why there in for the 2012 election. Your also allowed to ask questions, tell jokes if there polite and upload pictures of t-shirts or signs. I think having a Tumblr will help with his election but it is not going to be a significant difference. Its a great way to get people on his side but a lot of people have already made up there minds on whether or not they will vote for him.

President Obama Adds Tumblr to His List of Social Profiles
President Barack Obama has added another social media site called Tumblr. He already has a Facebook and Twitter and gained a reputation as the social media President for using these sites. He had a lot of supports in the 2008 election due to using his Facebook and Twitter. The Barack Obama Tumblr is run by the 2012 election campaign staff and it is used to show a more approachable and human side. The Tumblr is used to focus on behind-the-scenes shots, grassroots supports, and submissions.
