I'm gonna bet that you'll see a dramatic difference in voter turnout in the 18-35 demographics this time around.

I think some people under estimate the value of a Facebook 'like' in the realm of a political campaign. The i'd venture to say that a good majority of each candidate's Facebook followers are going to show a lot of passion and will be at the polls.

The bigger question for Nenshi, in particular, is how many of those followers were able to convert others to Nenshi's cause.
