Livetweeting the State of the State

I personally missed most of the State of the State address earlier. Don't have TV or full Internet access until tomorrow, so I couldn't check it out. I'll have a response tomorrow, but I did follow a number of people on Twitter who were responding to the speech as it went on. This is a new thing in Florida politics to have a wide range of people responding to the speech in real-time. We had a wide range of people from different parts of the political sphere tweeting while the governor spoke. Here's how they did.

@steveschale...5 tweets, 2 @ replies, no tags, best: "Does Crist just make up statistics?"

@eric_jotkoff...11 tweets, 0 @ replies, no tags, best: "Crist: 'Put solutions above credit' funny since Crist always does nothing then holds a presser taking credit for it"

@DanGelber...3 tweets, 0 @ replies, good tags, best: "Final on SOTS. Lofty, bipartisan but zero specifics on how fund public schools in peril. Ignores next weeks loss of revenue!"

@StateOfSunshine...10 tweets, 4 @ replies, good tags, best: "Sen. Lawson bemoaning tax breaks for small businesses and investors - calling them 'well heeled special interests.'"

@friedgator...2 tweets, 0 @ replies, no tags, best: "That speech by charlie was terrible, looks like he's given up and running for Senate. Read the liveblog here: http://bit.ly/SZj0Y"

That's who I found that followed the State of the State live. Did I miss anyone?

And this gets me thinking, we really need to come up with a hash tag for Florida Progressives on Twitter. Suggestions?

Conservatives have been using Twitter more at the national level. I've wondered why for a while. Someone suggested it was because all conservative slogans can fit into 140 characters or less. I think it may have something to do with that and the fact that the average liberal is a little too much in love with his or her solutions and thoughts that they can't narrow it down to that small an amount of space.
