I’m scrounging around for legitimate Twitter feeds from the presidential candidates. So far, my list looks like this:
Ron Paul, @RonPaul2008, with 822 followers
John Edwards, @johnedwards, with 4,282 followers
Barack Obama, @BarackObama, with 6,654 followers
Hillary Clinton, @hillaryclinton, with 197 followers
What do make of the Obama/Clinton result here?
What could Twitter do to bring younger voters back?
How might Twitter affect politics?
