Newsom Tweets New Baby, Will @GavinNewsom Be On The Birth Certificate?
The 2008 election cycle elicited amazing new uses of technology in politics.
It’s only February ’09, but we’ve now seen where the 2010 election cycle is heading…
San Francisco Mayor (and California Gubernatorial explorer) Gavin Newsom Tweeted his impending fatherhood.
Economy is important when you only have 140 characters to share something as special as your first baby, so let’s break down the message:
- Going to be a father
- Wife is pregnant
- Very excited/proud
The first line is the news.
The second clears up a major question – imagine the field day Drudge would have if the Mayor was carrying the child!
The third shows that he’s not some out-of-touch, San Franciscan, liberal, child-hating elitist. Nope. He’s stoked.
And I’m stoked for him.
Congratulations, Mayor Newsom…but please don’t put @GavinNewsom on the birth certificate.
