In this day and age where facebook and myspace dominates the social networks of young people, especially college students...more and more politicians are trying to show that they have a strong contingent of young people supporting their candidacy.
For example, a facebook group called " Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack)" has over 145k members http://cornell.facebook.com/...
A short time after Barack's one million facebook group popped up, other supporters of different candidates decided to mimic this strategy to presumably show that they have large support from young adults.
Example:
The facebook group, "Hillary Clinton for President - One Million and Beyond for Hillary" created a similar group to challenge Barack Obama's strong support among the facebook crowd. Currently they have about 20 (granted the group was formed yesterday) members
