Via TechCrunch:

MySpace has more registered members than Mexico has people. If it was a country it would be the 11th largest in the world. So while it may be a major marketing event for MySpace to say it’s holding a presidential primary next January, you can be sure the candidates will take it seriously.
The MySpace primary will be held on January 1 & 2, 2008, before any of the official state primaries. Every user will be asked to vote for their favorite candidate.

Now *this* is interesting…I’ve long wondered about the discrepancies between netizens and the rest of America as far as politics are concerned (see Howard Dean, 2004). This should provide some fascinating data. The fact that MySpace is owned by Rupert Murdoch only makes it more intriguing (euphemism?).
