...to everyone who participated in our UCP Election Day Twitter Patrol! It was a pretty successful endeavor -if we do say so ourselves. We got reports from all across the country, and hundreds of people have visited this blog since Tuesday.
When you've been around as long as UCP has (55 years and counting), it's not always easy to jump into the new media game. We consider this a test run in that regard and we're starting to see just how involved our online community really is. Therefore we're looking forward to more and bigger social media events in the future and we're always open to suggestions from you about how to make that happen. You can give us feedback on the Twitter Patrol, or anything else for that matter, by leaving a comment on the blog or by e-mailing me (Patrick) at ptutwiler@ucp.org. We're also on Myspace, Facebook, and of course, Twitter.
Thanks again for a great Election Night.
We'll be talking to you soon,
The UCP National Team

Things Aren't Looking Good For McCain
Pennsylvania has gone for Obama, at least according to MSNBC, along with Connecticut, DC, Deleware, Illinois, Massachusettes, Maryland, Maine, and Vermont. Kentucky, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Tennessee have gone for McCain.
McCain was counting on Pennsylvania and with it gone, he litterally needs to stave off Obama in every other state George Bush won in 2004 while at the same time winning some other blue state.

Everyone's doing it!
From the Washington Post today:
"On Election Day, not only will every media outlet be covering the vote, but so will voters themselves who will have ample opportunity to Tweet, Digg, video, and IM the vote...when every voter is also a potential election observer, any shenanigans can and will be instantly broadcast over the Web and quickly picked up by the mainstream media. At least there will be a clear record that can serve as a starting point for later investigation if need be."
We couldn't say it better ourselves. But remember, out of all the folks who will be documenting their votes next Tuesday, how many of them will be looking out for things like wheelchair access? So Tweet, Digg, video and IM all you like, but above all make sure you hit us up first!
