Don’t underestimate a tweet. Look what a tweet got us for President in 2008.
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.
