THIS campaign season more than ever, presidential hopefuls are turning to new media to bolster their bids for office. MySpace helps candidates reach a younger crowd, and we sifted through leading candidates’ MySpace pages to see what their supporters there were saying.

Barack Obama is wildly popular on MySpace. His “Saturday Night Live” appearance, prominently displayed on his page, delights his already loyal fan base.
* Great on SNL!!! You are THE man!!!!!!
* Awesome SNL show . . . . I was crackin’ up!!
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s MySpace friends are tough critics.
* You’re still my top candidate, but I hope my sincerity can be appreciated when I say I’m disappointed with your recent vote on Iran . . . . [W]ouldn’t the greatest strength you could offer at this time be the leadership and courage to say a military solution . . . is not always the best solution?
* You are a Great Person Hillary, but are you really for giving “Illegal Aliens” a Drivers License? Please don’t say Yes.
Rudy Giuliani’s MySpace friends celebrate the sense of security they believe only he can provide.
* May you lead our country so that I may sleep well at night knowing I am safe!
* Please stop the Communists from taking the White House . . . . U R our only chance!
John McCain’s MySpace friends prize his integrity.
* I have followed your history and biography. I have great respect for your integrity, your courage to do the right thing . . . even when it is the hardest choice.
* I want to thank you for the sacrifice you personally have made for this country. Your integrity and experience are far superior than all other candidates.
