- I had a flight from Newark to Dublin scheduled for this debate, and wasn't able to cover it live as I usually do. I began prepping my followers for the devastating news by retweeting sources I like and trying to get folks prepped and amped.
We've created a handy list of all the #Obama2012 people you need to be following for tonight's #debate: https://twitter.com/tech4obama/debates …ech4obama/debates
Normally I'd never do one of these avatar badge things, but this race matters. Get yours: http://bit.ly/V59sN8 #TechForObama
won't be live tweeting tonight's #debate. I leave you in the capable hands of @lizzwinstead @elonjames & https://twitter.com/tech4obama/debates …ech4obama/debates- Without my steady Twitter-based leadership, some of the people felt lost, but I offered what reassurances I could.
@baratunde What am I gonna do without your live debate tweets!?!?! I'm feeling some kinda way about this!- @smitten4written stay strong. I may comment on delay!
- As I sat on the tarmac, I tried to get out as much content as possible, like this awesome Chalk Talk from Bill Clinton
- Bill Clinton (aka Secretary of Explaining Shit) goes in on #mittmath in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB7I0vpwT7M …om/watch?v=mB7I0vpwT7M
- and then I was off.
- Insert six hours of flying and snoring and drooling and being told to raise my chair. When I landed, I turned on my phone, and the first notification I got was a text from a friend saying, "Fuck yes Obama!" It was a sample of one, but he wouldn't have said that if the debate didn't go the way we'd wanted, so I went out on a limb and checked in on Foursquare with this comment
- My pilot landed this plane like my president landed punches. #debate #dontcallitacomeback #thatmyprez http://4sq.com/RE6RMC C
- Once I was set up in my Dublin hotel, I pulled up the tube of yous and got started
- and yes, i know how to spell "college," but live-tweeting (even on time delay) is dangerous work, and proper spelling is often a casualty.
- hmm, romney only willing to help kid get a job if he's president in 2014? #conditionalsupport #justhirehimin2014anyway #debate
- "let's take the money we've been spending on war over the last decade and spend it on rebuilding america" -@BarackObama #debate
