It seems an indication of her candidacy. Pure name recognition and principles summed up in under 150 characters.

If this is a sign of how the campaign is going to be run, Hillary hired the wrong people and is accepting bad advice.

Most people on a Sunday are doing other things, be it outside or watching sports or whatever, they aren't watching the news channels, so they won't hear the announcement until Sunday evening or Monday morning.

And what are the demographics of the average Twitter user and what percentage of them are actually following Hillary's twitter stream?
