Jim DeMint and social media
Jim DeMint is one of the few solid guys in Washington D.C. DeMint has 93,000 Twitter fans.[1] Jim DeMint's Facebook page has 137,000 plus likes.[2] DeMint is one of the most active Republicans on social media and definitely one of the most staunchly conservative Republicans. I don't see any evidence of him losing any credibility due to his use of social media. My guess is that he has staff help manage his social media accounts. conservative 15:13, 5 June 2011 (EDT)
- Also, my guess is that DeMint uses his Facebook account to raise funds (he has a give tab on his Facebook account) and to help rally and communicate with his followers. conservative 15:32, 5 June 2011 (EDT)
Newt Gingrich and social media
I am not a big fan of Newt Gingrich, but he does say quite a few things I agree with. Newt Gingrich has over 1,300,000 Twitter followers.[3] Newt Gingrich's Facebook page has over 138,000 likes.[4] conservative 15:18, 5 June 2011 (EDT)
- Both good points, Conservative. I think the important difference is between a public figure who maintains an account on these sites and a person who wastes a lot of time doing nothing worthwhile on those same sites. For Gingrich or DeMint, a facebook or twitter page is an important publicity tool, but I doubt either of them spends much time on them - as you say, they no doubt have a staff to help them with that kind of thing Jcw 15:31, 5 June 2011 (EDT)
