I honestly don't get the whole thing with politicians and Twitter, especially right wingers.
GOPers seem to be SO into Twitter.
You'd think that politicians would be the last people who'd want to be tweeting their every latest thought in real time and no real opportunity to "edit" the thought or decide it was best not expressed.
I see many disadvantages, but I fail to see the advantage of using Twitter for them.
