The Twitter war in Utah's Senate race

Here is just a snapshot of the social media fight between surrogates for Sen. Orrin Hatch and former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist.

  1. Favorite boss?
  2. @ahrferrier Who was your favorite boss, Olympia Snowe or Orrin Hatch?
  3. @UTJolley Wow, guess Dan didn't teach you manners. you crossed a line. With people like you, no wonder obama's in the White House.
  4. @ahrferrier Oops, I forgot she-who-must-not-be-named is off limits.
  5. A back-and-forth
  6. @UTJolley Guess Dan is fine with obama's trillion dollar stimulus. Glad you've made that clear.
  7. @ahrferrier You're hilarious. Dan opposed Obama's stimulus and only thing he could control was where small portion was spent in Utah.
  8. @UTJolley Orrin Hatch is Mitt Romney's man to reform Washington. Dan is for Freedomworks b4 he was against them b4 he was 4 them?
  9. @ahrferrier Right... Since Orrin will finally decide to push for some reforms after 36 years. Dan has proven track record of reform.
  10. Mitt Romney asked Hatch to be a policy adviser to his campaign sparking a new hashtag #hatchpolicyadvice
  11. HatchPolicyAdvice: "I like Obama, I want to help him if I can." -> #Sunstein #DanLPolicyAdvice: "A Senator can advise & NOT consent." #utpol
  12. Two key points: 1. Big spending bills bring campaign donations, 2. Our grandchildren have to pick up the tab! #HatchPolicyAdvice
  13. #HatchPolicyAdvice Dont forget to remind voters about ur pathetic record on enviroment & women.
  14. And then it was time for #DanLpolicy and #DanCampaignTactic
  15. #DanLpolicy: Work with all sides and come up with a real solution to reduce spending. #utpol
  16. #DanLpolicy: Look at numbers, face reality, and actually DO something about it. #utpol @DanForUtah
  17. Sending your campaign manager on KUER after caucuses to admit you got smoked #DanCampaignTactics #utpol
  18. Asking voters to send a true conservative to the senate while in the Utah senate had lowest conservative rating #DanCampaignTactics #utpol
  19. Forget to stack your own precinct with support on caucus night. #DanCampaignTactics #utpol
