It looks like I'm off the hook right now for the $50 donation I promised Roy Blunt. He had to contact me by 5 Pm tonight and I did not get a direct message or email from from him (or his staff). So no donations just yet to the Blunt campaign.
But at 10:46 this morning, Roy started following all his followers. It happened shortly after @stlshamed tweeted my post . So I'm holding out hope that Roy (or his staff) actually is tuned into the web and figured out we were talking about it.
But rules are rules. Following me does not get the donation.
I'm going to leave it at that tonight (need to get to the State of the Union pre-game). But I'll have more later on this subject. I've got a post on Roy's "lost" tweets that Google's cache saved I'll get to later. Maybe I'll do a "Blunt Watch" to see how he uses social media to get this going. Observe Roy as a microcosm of politicians and social media this election cycle.
Anyway - good job to Roy Blunt and his staff for "following". It's something @clairecmc hasn't bothered with yet. And I have not run across Sarah Steelman or Carnahan yet on Twitter (or anywhere) either. Time to get in the game ladies.
