A Preview Of What The Midterms Will Look Like In A Twitter World

November’s midterms can rightly be considered the nation’s first Twitter election. Twitter was around in 2007/08 but it was not widely used, and certainly not by major candidates for office. Needless to say, what a difference two years make. Come this fall, for better or worse (and one assumes it will be more the latter than the former) politicians will likely be tweeting up a storm.

Want an idea of what that might look like? Look no further than Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), candidate for governor this fall, who sent out this sort of awkward little ditty earlier today. Congratulations Pete?
