You need to hear the candidates in their own words:

who is Obama following on twitter?

Posted by tohu.vavohu on Monday, September 22, 2008 3:16:00 AM
Update: Lagomorphic was informed that twitter has a auto-follow feature.  When a twitter-er follows your account, twitter can set your account to automatically follow them [view their tweets].  Even with this, I think there should be a little oversight and discretion.  If one is trying to portray an image of a clean and a non-divisive campaign, I'd try and keep up on it.  Even if it was an oversight, once it was pointed out, I would go to great lengths to correct it, blocking their account.  Let's see what happens, if nothing, then that would be telling.

Whoever is manning the Obama twitter account should think about having a little discretion. [note: To follow someones "tweets" takes the physical act of the account holder to click a Follow button.  Whoever is overseeing Barack Obama's twitter account consciously and voluntarily added the accounts mentioned below.]

Lagomorphic gives the lowdown on who the Obama twitter account is following and it's a reference to Sarah Palin's private parts.  [I wouldn't let kids see.  It can get personal.]

velvethammer, at Ironic Surrealism II, gives a couple more of who Obama's twitter account is following.

Just saying.  Might want to take a second look.

Using the DNCC's trash

Posted by tohu.vavohu on Saturday, September 06, 2008 7:39:00 PM
I'm sure you know or have heard by now about the American flags found in bags discarded by the dumpsters at Invesco Field for a week and a day after Barack Obama's speech.  If not update here [got link from Hugh Hewitt].

I'd like to point out something Ed Morrissey says on his post about it:
"No one suggested here that it was a “nefarious plot”, and like Harsanyi, I hardly think that Obama would have directed his staff to throw 12,000 American flags in a dumpster. In fact, until Team Obama issued this ludicrous statement, the story didn’t have anything to do with them. However, the obvious carelessness with which the DNCC treated the flags is a rather revealing moment for them, and the lie for people in Obama’s organization."
[Emphasis mine]  That's the poignant point.  I'll leave it there because Ed said it better than I could and I would rehash it all in a blubber that's not as concise.

Sarah Palin's speech - video

Posted by tohu.vavohu on Thursday, September 04, 2008 1:11:00 AM

rnc transcript here.

generic transcript but link to audio here.

Message
one of my favorite lines of the night:  "I love those hockey moms. You know, they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull: lipstick."
and:    "There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you."

[if you read previous posts, I didn't like McCain.  Didn't want him as the Republican nominee.  But he's proven himself and I'm excited with Governor Sarah Palin as VP pick.  If heard about conservatives excitement with Ronald Reagan in the past.  I wonder if it felt like this?]
