On a sort of related note some of the tweets that McIver makes are unintentionally hilarious. Seriously someone more in the loop ought to take access to his account for him!

My feeling is not all that well. It's easy to "Like" something on Facebook, or "Friend" a candidate that you agree with. Getting out and voting on election day is a whole other matter. Unless you're really reaching a demographic that for other reasons is already very motivated, I'm very skeptical of social networking as a campaign tool.
