Sarah Palin Ends Twitter Silence, Goes National?

SarahPalinUSA Is this Sarah Palin‘s new twitter? A few weeks ago we speculated where the former twittering Governor of Alaska might land after her AKGovSarahPalin was put to rest along with her governorship. Alas Twitterland has remained free of Palin’s insightful (and possibly more politically incorrect!) tidbits for the last three weeks; instead the Bard of Wasilla appeared to have taken up residence on the longer-form friendly Facebook.

However! The wait may be over. CNN is reporting that SarahPalinUSA is Palin’s new handle despite the fact there have been no tweets from the account yet. In what may be construed as a hint of what’s to come Palin has dropped the AK altogether, and gone national! One imagines we won’t have to wait that long for her to peep up — 140 characters seems the perfect length with which to communicate all thoughts and facts on Death Panels. No explanations necessary!

Whether or not this is actually Palin’s account is yet to be determined. As our columnist Tommy Christopher pointed out to us, this account not only has no tweets but has yet to be verified by Twitter, which is something Twitter does with high profile users to confirm their identity. Nor has it transferred over Palin’s followers from her AKGov account. Is this one for real? We’re just a tweet away from finding out.
