It's Twitter-ific!

Today (Tuesday, January 22nd) I received yet another Twitter from the Fred Thompson Campaign. I've been getting them fairly regularly along with Twitters from the Obama Campaign.

However, today was a first.

At 2:40 BEFORE I got the alert from CNN (also on my cellphone), the Thompson campaign Twittered the following:


"Sadly, It's official. Fred says: "Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States" Thanks for all of your support."
Over at the website there is a thank you image AND a post about the end of the canidacy. Well done. As a "supporter" who signed up for Twitter, I found out quickly which is the point of something like Twitter, isn't it?


























Better than what happened over at the Hunter site, which by now does have the posting that "Congressman Hunter has dropped out of the race" (quite unfriendly, by the way).

Thanks for the complement. A goodbye is the right thing to do, especially to so many people who followed the campaign through Fred08.com.

I take credit for the picture. The statement is from Sen. Thompson and the Twitter update is due to the good people at New Media Strategies.
