America will win or lose because of a campaign on Twitter? Please.
.. Ping!
I am a former twitter-hater who has been kept up past my bedtime lately laughing out loud at conservatives kicking lefty a$$ on Twitter.
Conservatives are much better at this forum...lefties like to rant and whine but 140 characters isn’t enough for them.
I totally agree. I wish FR, would too. I’d be active on it.
Is this article a joke? Conservatives ROCK on Twitter! Just ask Michelle Malkin.
I do not even have a Twitter account - no point.
Thanks, STARWISE. I’m starting tomorrow.
There are tons of voters who can’t read well enough for Twitter.
I hate twitter. Pointless ramblings done in short code. Every five seconds new pings. It is the epitome of the Sesame Street generation.... over stimulation of the senses leads to confusion
it is amazing. I was able to follow the Palin endorsed Fischer come out of nowhere to beat the GOP establishment candidate minute by minute. Twitter is must have for political junkies. Conservatives dominate and I got to watch our favorite big guns destroy Obama's creepy Julia scenario.
I am a step above a Neanderthal and I am able to do it. There is no excuse. Get an IPAD, sign up for Twitter, and start following your favorite conservatives. You will be more informed than ever.

Twitter has the two advantages over a forum like this: A far wider audience and the ability to post immediately without the need for a PC.
At a forum like FreeRepublic, the audience is limited to like-minded people. In other words, we’re often preaching to the choir. On Twitter, we hit people who wouldn’t dream of coming to a site like this. We can also use tweets to drive them here for more information than can be given in 140 characters.
Since Twitter is designed around the text message format, almost any device can be used to send a tweet. To post here, you need to log in; usually on a PC. Not so on Twitter. You can use your phone and send a Tweet whenever the mood strikes. I often use a Firefox plugin that lets me tweet from the address bar as I’m reading something. It’s far faster than posting to a forum.

Sorry, Real Conservatives don’t twit.
Except the article fails to address conservatives-on-Twitter major shortcoming -- they usually fail to #hashtag, whereas Libtards never forget one, or two. Usually the paradigm, and then the meme du jour.
Can't leave the #hashtagging to someone downstream, not for the least reason is that doing so invites astroturfing. At least Mittens campaign has been good about #hashtags, but then again, he's not a conservative...
No one would follow me on Twitter, anyhow.
The accounts appeared right after the event, have only ever posted to that hashtag, and they do it regularly. What's going on there appears to be nothing short of an attempt to make sure George Zimmerman can never get a fair trial.
“Tweeting” on “Twitter” is part of the homosexual agenda. After all, what could possibly sound more gay? < /sarc >
