I think that the larger portion by a significant amount has to be face to face and public appearances.

I think if someone did the majority of their campaigning through Cyber-space my first thought was that this candidate was either hiding something, was unapproachable or had little confidence in his or her public persona.

I also think that a lot of people wouldn't care enough to got to a website or twitter or facebook, meeting people face to face can galvanize voters and allowing them a proper forum for discussing issues.

The technology is important as a tool that you can direct people to. But someone running a techno campaign is probably going to lose.

Don't forget that in an aging population, most old folks distrust people that rely too much on technology.

Plus people who twitter, just really annoying.
