Answer:
The correct answer is A. In the presidential election of 2008, the Obama campaign used the internet to raise money and reach voters.
Explanation:
On February 10, 2007, Obama announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States in front of the old state Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. The choice of this location for his announcement was symbolic, because it was the place where Abraham Lincoln delivered his landmark House Divided speech in 1858. Through his campaign he emphasized the issues surrounding ending the Iraq war, increasing energy independence, providing universal health care, identifying these issues as his main priorities.
The campaign raised much of its cash in small donations through the Internet, with almost half of its collection coming in amounts of less than $200. This campaign was regularly reviewed for irregularities of abuse and refunds or rejection of donations that exceeded legal limits, from abroad, either from addresses that do not exist, or with obviously fraudulent names. After some criticism of the Obama campaign in the conservative blogs of the Republican National Committee, the Federal Electoral Commission was asked to investigate the donor selection practices of the Obama campaign.
