and tell me that she isn't in trouble.



If this debate really happens, California will definitely go for Bernie. That's why I can't see Clinton letting it happen. She will now do anything to inject herself into it.

1. Sarah Palin has 1.25 million "followers" on twitter,

on the edge of their chairs, reading every "tweet" and being respectively agog.

I wish people would stop with the twitter references, with their "hashtag" coinages and other bullshit. As if because a few clueless doofuses coined, e.g. "#berniesoblack" so this hashtag and what it signified was a "real thing" and proved something about politics.

twitter is anathema to reason.

2. Twitter is global communication for a younger generation.

It means something but is invisible to those of us who don't participate.

But as with all things, the question is doing versus talking....

4. twitter can also be used for

reporting and organizing. But unless you actually delve into it, you won't understand.

One of the first big events to happen where twitter was very important in both reporting/organizing was the Arab spring.

I get countless articles, have joined rallies and gone to organized events that I found on twitter.
But I guess I'm just an "unreasonable clueless doofus".
