Hello:

Obama is Tweeting. Is that legal? Will it give him an advantage?

Social media has shown itself to be a POWERHOUSE against the status quo. It started revolutions in the Middle East, and stopped over reaching government here.

What if a candidate utilized EVERYTHING social media offers, can he win?

I think it is wise to use all methods of communication available to a candidate.

I don't know about the legality except to opine that it is certainly Constitutional . But I will not "friend" him even as I get email updates from him inviting me to dinner .

Candidates win at the ballot box Ex, tweet all he likes he needs feet on the ground and votes and annoying the voters can be counterproductive.

Personally I find someone continually tweeting to be annoying

I don't tweet, wife, daughter, and the rest of the family do. They don't look, or act annoyed. If they are happy, I seem to be happier. Wonder if they tweet the president?
