Frank Reed poses this question and I think that it is pretty clear that politicians, especially candidates, must be on Twitter. Reed explains that while Twitter may be a good communication tool, it may also be too easy for politicians to say something damaging. However, this is a problem that can be applied to almost every aspect of politician’s life. Politicians must constantly watch what they say on and offline. Some of the most damaging material happens when politicians are caught on camera talking to reporters. In the current digital age, a cell phone video can go viral about as quickly as a tweet can. Politicians can’t afford to pass up the opportunity to connect with constituents and spread their message on Twitter, especially as traditional media continues to struggle. But just like anything they do it has to be calculated. To quote Wesley Donehue, “Twitter Is Not A Toy.”
