Hillary's Classy Tweets to Ohio and Rhode Island
By Michael Whitney, 03/05/2008 - 8:51am

Hillary brought some short & simple class to Twitter tonight - she thanked both Rhode Island and Ohio immediately after winning each state.

I thought this was very nice to see. Instead of just reporting out, she's engaging. Is this finally the start of The Conversation we were told about last January?

She didn't give a Texas-specific shoutout, but did include all the states she won in a final thank-you for "every vote you cast, every phone call you made."

are you kidding?

seriously, how do you perceive classiness in those? i'm not understanding; classiness would be in, for once, congratulating barack obama in a meaningful way, as he does her; she has very little class or genuine graciousness

Timing, change

Hillary's web team was on the ball - it was real time communication, and a different tone than she's used on Twitter in the past. She's finding her voice, online and offline, and it's a nice change for what she's done in the past.

Her final tweet of the night - not in the image but linked in the last paragraph - understood her audience, thanking supporters not just for voting, but for making calls too.

It's a very simple gesture, very well timed as soon as the results came out, and I was impressed by it. Certainly not novel, but for Hillary, it's something to note.

Disclosure: I donated to and voted for Obama.
