And here's Slate's..... http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2011/07/20/_140_characters_no_plot.html

140 Charaters, No Plot


There were five winners in today’s first-of-its kind Twitter presidential debate. They were Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, Buddy Roemer, and Mitt Romney. All of them are running for president, and all of them skipped the event, missing out on the most dignity-shredding, IQ-lowering pseudo-event of the campaign so far.....

As Slate's Dave Weigel put it: "Can you guys answer some easy questions by summarizing your talking points?"

Lmfao.
And the most any of these fools gained was 634 new Twitter followers (Bachmann) - woohoo!

I'm nearly insulted by the concept of it; certainly disgusted by the idea.

Good thing Dr. Paul is smart and knew not to attend this thing despite the cries for him to do so from people here.

The only benefit I saw was that Bachmann added like 600 twitter followers. That is about it.
