Forget Tweet rates. Meaningless. Most of it is Romneybots tweeting "Oh shit". Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2012 #2

Means they know Mitt got his ass handed to him.

There are a lot of things to forget (poll, ratings and such), but Mitt got his ass handed to him. Celebrate!

It doesn't matter who is doing the tweeting.

I look forward to the analysis in the future to see which side had more ghost accounts.

Like a flock of birds chirping. Maybe it means something to the bird next to you, but in the big picture, it means nothing at all. With only rare exceptions, it is a one-way medium -- from the ego to the ether, never to be seen again.

But the statistic is certainly interesting. There were 4 times as many birdbrains tying incoherent nonsense during Obama's speech. That's worth something I guess.
