Twitter Will Gauge Voter Sentiment in New Venture: Will Twitter Call the Next Election?

Why is God such a child that he needs people to believe in him? I find it likely that if there is a God, that he would be upset if we didn't question Him. He gave us the brains to do it.

You've got it the other way around...it's the child that needs to believe in Him. He gave us the brains to reason and ask why. I'm not well read in the Bible, but on a daily basis I feel his blessings and love for me. I tried it the other way around and was greatly tested when I lost my husband, sister and brother to disease in the space of 3 years. It was my faith in Him and knowing they were in Heaven in total peace and good health that got me through the pain. When my husband dierd, I was with him. The moment he died, he opened his eyes and peace came to him and those around holding our hands and praying. The nights I laid in bed crying and praying for them, I felt His love and kindness. I am not the one to ask why for we all will die. It's the way it is. The love and faith I have in God and Jesus sustain me through the tough times. Without Him, I am nothing, but through Him, I can be all things.

Twitter will surpass Facebook, the same way Facebook surpassed MySpace. And something will come along to surpass Twitter. But one thing will always remain - people with opinions will find a way to make them heard online.

Telephone service is nearly universal, but most people won't answer a survey. A much smaller percentage of the population has Twitter. I doubt either group can accurately represent the voting population.

The poll that really works is the "Weekly Reader" mock election. Kids tend to vote the same way their parents do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

"The poll has now been conducted 14 times, most recently in 2008, and the students have voted for the person who became president 13 out of 14 times; the exception was in 1992, when George H.W. Bush garnered more votes than Bill Clinton. Third-party candidate Ross Perot, whose presence on the national ballot was important during the actual election, was not on the Weekly Reader ballot that year."

Lots of people don't use it......

Very few people my age bother with twitter... me included.

Deibold will determine this one too.

Yes, and Facebook, Kickstarter.. the InternetZZZ

The "demographics" of Twitter must be taken in to account. WHO DOES THAT? It i way loaded to a "certain" segment, not a cross section of registered, seasoned, voters! Can you guess, yes I am seasoned, many times over and never Twittered.

Dinosaurs must die

They already did.

I mean the baby boomers and their offspring. I use dinos as a metafor.. do I need to spill out everything.

The revolution already started, boyo. You are too blind to see. It is too late for you. First Tunesia, then Egypt, Syria.. Greece will be next. Then the world will be in chaos. Goodbye

I see what the hell is going on and I am ready. I am armed and stocked up on food and water. Are you ready is the question?

Im locked up in a madhouse. Diagnoses: Psychoses... Im already in HELL!

You have my sympathy in that case.

Most welfare and liberals don't follow the news to vote in this poll. As for those that do, Twitter will call it and so will the majority of Americans.

The liberals will flood twitter.......Dumb.

The republicans will freeze them

Say what?

I say.. yes we can!

Really!!!!!!!

That is lame

There are MILLIONS that do not have a Twitter account.

A lot of people don't have a twitter and even those that do might not even choose to comment about politics. Everybody has opinions we can't call a winner by counting the number of people that chose to tweet that opinion.

I don't under estimate the possibility.

If it's open to everybody with a Twitter account, there's no way to determine who is being counted. Could be a 13-year-old in India.

LOL... like lady Goo Goo and Snookie vote!...LOL

For too long, we have allowed the media to convince us that the polls show one thing or another. It's high time to get off our dead butts and actually do some research rather than allowing a 30 second sound byte to sway us one way or another. President Obama has my vote all the way. Take that twitter.

Let's hope. With all the suspected rigging of the elections impending, let's let them keep an honest, up to date meter going, so, when, all the sudden there's a surge in counted votes in an area where it's highly unlikely that such a surge would occur we get to know immediately. Keep an eye on the Diebold machines too, oh, they are changing that so keep an eye on all phases of election corruption.

That is so dumb ass.

No , it will not have any barring on the election.

Not even close to everyone in the us has a twitter.

LOL!!! This is funny. First, people who pay attention to daily polls are either bored or are pundits for a living. Secondly, polling is very far from a perfect science. Third and not least, polling BEFORE the presidential and vice presidential debates is pretty obsolete.

I could about tell you as we near the day to vote what the outcome will be, by how the liberal press controls the entertainment minded fools of this nation.

I have more than one twitter account.

Probably.
