I hope he gets to keep the BB. We can't have a system that keeps technology away from our leaders. I did an interview with political consultants who told me their clients in congress had to fight to get access to Twitter. Our representatives shouldn't have to fight to stay in touch with the world.



I don't think, for a member of Congress, that Twitter == staying in touch with the world. Perhaps for their staff, as a networking tool.

According to the political consultants, was it the actual representatives fighting for Twitter access, or their staff?


I could really give a crap whether or not he keeps his friggin' Blackberry.

I'm a little more concerned with how he handles pressing issues like our failing economy, safety, and health care.


So if he handles them in a way you're dissatisfied with, you'd rather him be further insulated from the opinions, suggestions, and questions of the public?
