  1. In the 2012 elections, social media has shifted from a moderately useful tool to help with fundraising and political organizing, to a contested terrain upon which political struggles for meaning and interpretation occur.  Does this shift translate into a consequential shift for citizen engagement in American politics?
  2. How does the use of social media in the 2012 presidential campaign compare with the use of social media in the 2008 election?
  3. How significant is the use of social media in presidential campaigns, compared with other historical milestones involving media and politics?
  4. Does the presence of social media in politics enhance citizen engagement with politics?
  5. How significant are the activities and practices evident in social media, such as Facebook or Twitter posts and the circulation of Internet memes, as a part of the political process?
