Presidential Tweets?

I’m not really a big fan of the whole “John McCain is so old he can’t use a computer” line the Obama camp rolled out today.  I think there are stronger, more necessary and relevant attacks that Obama should launch.

That said, the activity level on the two candidates’ Twitter pages does seem to back up the overarching thesis.

Check out these screenshots.

McCain’s:

(Note the “Location” each has signified.  Obama sharply “outsiders” his online presence.)

    That does say a lot. I’m not sure what you mean by “‘outsiders’ his online presence.’” Do you mean that Obama puts himself outside the Beltway by having Chicago as his location?

    Yes. I verbed the word. This is the Interwebs. Diffr’n rulez. But, apparently, at the cost of clarity.

    Did you see the  NYT Magazine on Sunday?Apparently, John McCain has a somewhat active Facebook page. Maybe nobody told him about Twitter yet?:)
