Republicans and Twitter

Way back in February, I wrote a speculative post about technologies I thought might impact the 2008 elections. One of the technologies I mentioned was Twitter. The Hotline (and David All) noted last week that House GOP leader John Boehner is twitterring (sorry). Today, I stumbled across the recently created profiles of House Whip Eric Cantor and the National Republican Congressional Committee (first committee on Twitter I think).

I know that Dem Presidential candidates have jumped on the bandwagon. Does anyone know if it is gaining traction among Dems in the House/Senate like it slowly appears to be doing with the GOP?

My Twitter profile is here.

My question is who are these candidates for the republican nomination at twitter? It’s a huge audience they’re missing - or I’m missing them.

People who don’t want to listen to them drone on for ten minutes when Chris Mathews asks a question would be open to tweets.

Mitt has a youtube page, facebook and myspace so it’s time to twitter.

(Note to candidates: I’ve got four children over the age of 21 and if I can do it anybody can do it - http://twitter.com/susanreynolds)

This is great to hear vs the criticism I’m picking up from your writing. Am I wrong or are you disappointed that a conservative might actually be interested in technology and what people are thinking?

Dan,

We actually do work for Republican candidates, although we try not to talk about politics on the blog beyond discussing tactics.
