A Comparison of Election Twitter Tactics

The above image is currently on election.twitter.com during the debate. I don’t care which side you’re on, this to me is a huge indication of character and tactics. I wish both of these accounts would have had a “Good Luck!” or Hoping to share information with America, rather than seeing McCain link to an ad of “gotcha moments” starring Biden.

What are your thoughts?

Weather To Foul Ohio Elections?

With horrendous weather on the way for my area of Ohio I have to wonder what will happen to the election if the local Sheriff declares a level 3 emergency.  When a level 3 is declared by local law enforcement only necessary personnel are allowed to travel, basically doctors, nurses, road cleaning crews.  In such a hyped election with anticipated record turnout for a primary in Ohio one has to wonder what would happen if the weather prevented the election form happening.  I’m not talking about people sitting at home due to some raindrops but from the local Sheriff essentially ordering people to not vote!  Granted I have only been voting for a few elections but I haven’t encountered as severe a storm as they are predicting for tonite.

I’ll be interested to see how the primary plays out in Ohio if the weather is bad enough to warrant road and school closings.  Anyone out there with more years of experience know what happens to the election in the event that being on the road is enough to earn you a ticket.  Now if only I could remember, was the Sheriff wearing a Hillary or an Obama button?  Hmmm…
