Twitter Updates for 2010-02-24
- Watching a bit of Meg Whitman, little things remind me of John Jerry. Perhaps it’s the whole “Boston Brahmin” thing? #CAGOV #

- So, I’ve been out of the loop today. Can someone explain to me why @CarlyforCA is attacking @TalktoTom for being a Furry? #fb #

- @DTCahill Problem is point is buried several minutes into the ad. By that time you’re confused & lauging to hard to care. #demonsheep in reply to DTCahill #
- @DTCahill Only candidate to benefit from this ad is @ChuckDeVore. Carly looks ridiculous for making it, Campbell gets attacked. in reply to DTCahill #
- @DTCahill Brown ad criticized on content, didn’t make him national laughing stock. 100k watched #Demonsheep for laughs, not the “message.” in reply to DTCahill #
- @DTCahill Fact is, Fiorina’s campaign is proving as inept as her tenure at HP. DeVore wins on this one. in reply to DTCahill #
- @DTCahill How do I sound misogynistic? She ran a storied US campaign into the ground & was canned. Failure is failure. Regardless of gender. in reply to DTCahill #
