Im not sure what you mean by Tweets getting us Obama in 2008, but I think Truth101A makes a valid point. For those concerned abou Palin always having to re-explain herself, think about all the times she has had to, and for what kind of comment. A Tweet. Tweets are what she has had to elaborate or explain further. Hardly an environment conducive to exacting language. Also, easily misinterpreted or mishandled by those who dislike her anyway. The posting style alone with all the @’s and gr8’s is already setting her, and everyone posting like that, up fir misunderstanding. Not to mention it’s not exactly Presidential. Which brings me to my only criticism of Palin at this point.
QUIT THE TWEETING. That is, if you’re really serious about (possibly) running for President. Someone downthread likened it to a bored teenager in study hall and, I’m sorry to say I agree with that characterization. For better or worse, that’s what Tweeting is likened to, especially if one posts with excessive use of substitutionary characters as she apparently does.
It simply doesn’t come across as Presidential, and clearly leads to problems such as this.
Love Sarah, but kinda agree on the tweeting. It’s a quick way to get an opinion out, but facebook is better and just as quick.
I’m kinda interested in who all the anti-palins on this thread are for as our candidate.
Pissant is all over Michele Bachman, but I am suspicious of this. He was accused of being anti-female and is countering that accusation by either being a Bachman fan or pretending to be.
There are only a few candidates who have a real chance. Two are Huckabee and Romney. Then about 8 or 9 borderline possibilities, none of whom seem to be to be viable.
Christie has a lot of negatives and besides, he says he’s not running.
There are a couple of males who are good conservatives but none who have a lot of charm or charisma (and if you think that’s not necessary - hah). Not only that, none of them but Christie seem to be able to state their positions in an exciting forceful manner.
So, I’m hoping for Palin, but all the Palin haters out there need to unite and find someone they can agree on and support him or her.
I would support a good conservative who seemed to have a chance, but who could it be???
Even Freerepublic has a Tweet account. You want Sarah Palin to lose? It would be political suicide for any politician to ignore the social media.
You one of Obama's "Sarah-bots"?
