Yeah, I could see 2004 to 2008 being a huge turning point in the history books. I don't recall the Internet playing much of a role in 2004 at all, whereas in 2008 at the very least I was watching campaign videos on Youtube and chatting with others online. After 2008 campaigns will never be the same again - it's necessary to leverage social media and your Internet presence nowadays, so 2008 will be looked back upon like the 1960 election and TV are associated.

Also agree that I don't see the Democratic Party nominating two white guys for Prez and VP again for a while, so that's another big shift.

edit: I do wonder if 100 years from now, they will look at the 2000 - 2012 elections and think that these elections were boring because the map barely changed.
