GOP Rivals Pioneer Twitter Debate
GOP candidates for the 2010 gubernatorial race in California are making a modern campaign move on Wednesday, TechRepublican.com reports. State Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner and former Rep. Thomas Campbell will be participating in what is believed to be the first ever candidate debate on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Poizner issued a statement saying: "There is no doubt that we need to grow the Republican party and engaging new and young voters through social media outlets like Twitter is an excellent start."
During the debate at Brandman University, both GOP candidates will respond to questions submitted via Twitter as well as questions from Sacramento Bee reporter Dan Walters and other panelists. Poizner urged California voters to watch the debate live on television or online and share their thoughts throughout the night on Twitter. "We need to make California the innovation capital of the world again," he said. The debate can be viewed online here. Follow on Twitter @StevePoizner and @TeamPoizner.
