Now you’re at the fun part, seeing what your candidate is saying and doing (and also keeping an eye out on those other candidates too!)
Here’s how to find a candidate’s Twitter account so you’ll have some good things to re-tweet (send out to others) about your candidate.
There are actually a couple ways of finding your candidate’s Twitter account.
First: You can do a search for your candidate’s name on the Twitter search box at the top.
You’ll see tweets and re-tweets that contain your candidate’s name on the left side of your Twitter page, and you’ll see a list of mostly likely results of your candidate’s actual Twitter page on the right.
You can either click “follow” on one of the accounts on the right side of the page, or you can click on one of the tweets from your candidate on that left side of your page and get to your candidate’s account from a tweet they have put out on Twitter.

PS, Don’t feel bad if you see a whole bunch of bad things about your candidate on those tweets at the left side of your page. Remember, we are here to offset all those Democrat tweeters! They are used to this. Conservatives are just now getting into the social media race. We are going to turn this around and win the election!

The second way to find your candidate’s Twitter account, if you already know the username for your candidate’s account (or friend’s account for that matter), just write that account name into your search box, and Twitter will take you to their account tweets.
For instance, we have a Texas twitter-guy (is that the way you say it, lol) who writes that Rick Perry Report. I already know his Twitter account name is: @RickPerryReport
If you write @RickPerryReport into the Twitter search box, you’ll go right to his Twitter page.

Hey, this is cool!
As I was doing that myself, I just saw THIS on Twitter:
SteveForbesCEO Steve Forbes
by RickPerryReport
Lots more on @GovernorPerry’s #flattax plan in the coming days and weeks. Thrilled by the response so far; excited to see where it goes.

You can get a lot of info from those tweets sometimes, and if something is really good, you can click “re-tweet” and get that tweet (little post) out yet again, and again, and again.
The most that re-tweets something, the more we’ll be getting our candidate’s info out there and will be overcoming the bad tweets those pesty Democrats are posting all over Twitter!
More coming still!
And you don’t just have to re-tweet your candidate’s tweets from their accounts.
You can re-tweet something nice someone has said about your candidate.
For instance, I wrote “Herman Cain” into my search box, and of the many tweets there, I saw this one:
davidubben David Ubben
Herman Cain, Atlanta native and presidential candidate, at today’s Iowa State game rocking a red ISU jacket. Iowa caucuses: Jan. 3, 2012.
2 hours ago
I could even re-tweet that!
Or course, if I were in IOWA and saw Herman Cain there, I might be tweeting “Just saw Herman Cain in Iowa! Cool!”
It’s as easy as that.
