Mathew's comments: Do Facebook users care about politics?

... and that's not the essence of politics? Seriously, personality and superficiality and negative campaign cleverness almost totally trump reasoned debate here in America, which is why Facebookers and even the younger Myspacers are a key political force, though they may be a fickle and fairly uninformed force. That makes them a lot like ... the rest of us.
