Robert is just another nobody trying to take a shot at Palin. Sad that a grown man has to go there.

This column is not even worth commenting on because your just using it to slash away at a decent person, your just an elitist hack. Good luck with that pal. What, you guys looking for approval from your fellow Obama media, fellowship church? You betchya Robert, you are the real twit.

I'm a never did twitter. But to follow Governer Palin I may just take it up. The entire article could have been written without mentioning Ms. Palin. But evidently she still has the left shaking in their boots.
U.S. News and World Report is becoming more obsolete than the twitter crowd.

So Governor Palin has joined the twitterati, but it seems to be a rapidly dwindling group. Kind of like the Republican Party AND "US AND NEWS REPORT" READERSHIP
Never would have found you if not for Drudge..

If Sarah's twitters all relate to Alaska, the lower 48 will lose interest at a rapid rate. My Senator McCaskill (clairecmc)uses twitter with both DC updates, personal tidbits and appears to read most of the twitters send to her. Made a request of the Senator McCaskill yesterday and her office was immediately in touch with me today. Twitter works for Claire McCaskill.
I am afraid a large number of the people following Sarah Palin are gunning for the little lady from the North. Some of the early twitters to Sarah have been vicious and cruel. Sarah is a very polarizing figure and I am looking forward to seeing whether twitter works for Sarah.
I am afraid the real entertainment is not going to be Sarah's twitters, but those twitters sent to her. Hang on to your chair as I think we are in for some excitement. I don't want to underestimate Sarah, but I am curious whether this will improve her image or contribute to further polarization.

There's some good analysis here as to why that is:

Since the only mode of communication that Sarah Palin seems to excel in is that of the one liner, tweeting seems quite appropriate. But curious individuals tend to like something with a bit more substance.
