Only 30 % using the internetssssssss for political info.
Should I be surprised it's that low or should I be surprised it's that high?
In a report Sunday, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said that nearly 30 percent of adults have used the Internet to read or watch unfiltered campaign material — footage of debates, position papers, announcements and transcripts of speeches.
"They want to see the full-blown campaign event. They want to read the speech from beginning to end," said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew group. "It's a push back from the sound-bite culture."

I am not surprised that it is so low. I don't think there are a lot of Internet users in WV. We have seen how they voted this past primary. WV is less than 50 miles from where I live in Western PA, and the times I traveled through there I noticed that many had a lower standard of living then Pennsylvians did.
