Any suggestions on how to use Twitter in political campaigns?

[LiberalFighter]

Wondering whether paid staff use Twitter effectively in their campaigns and if so how.

What would be the best way for volunteers and others to use Twitter?

1. I'd appoint someone who really gets off on it to be in charge of Twitter for you

You presumably have stump speech outlines and position papers. Have him or her troll them for clever oneliners--presumably you will pick someone who is verbally adept--and post something at the very least every other day. Periodically tweet a link to your campaign website.

2. I'm not running. I do mostly behind whatever.

I think it needs to be more than what you suggest. There would be official and then there would be others to mimic or take up the time of the opposition.

3. actiate

I think you should rally the occupy people to flood the talk show hosts and demand that they start a national conversation on the scam being perpetrared on this country right now. they are redistricting voting districts to eliminate liberal representatives. And pushing voter restriction laws to steal the senate. If we allow that to happen, it won't matter who is president. And all the talking heads want to talk about is the republican primary circus. If someone doesn't speak out soon it will be too late

4. Just remember

Tweeting in the heat of a moment has gotten Political figures into trouble. You may want to consider this before tTweeting a Political Campaign.

5. Organizing Republican Donor Boycotts

Any corporation backing Republican Campaigns will be scared to death to see their company Twittered for a Boycott.
Dont for get after we contacted sponsors of the Glenn Beck Show asking them if they wanted their sponsorship to be associated with racism they started running for the door. The notion of a sponsor Boycott prompted the Fox Network to cancel their high ratings golden boy Glenn Beck.
