Ok, I know I'm a bit behind the curve, but I'm beginning to appreciate the power of Facebook. Kyrsten Sinema gets my award for making the best use of the platform and as one of her thousands of friends I'm getting a steady stream of updates about her book tour and appearances.
On the Republican side, I think Len Munsil probably has the best organization, but John Munger is the Republican who uses the medium most effectively. He does a great job promoting events and giving a heads up about his upcoming media appearances. Naturally, David Schweikert--who was a Geek before Geeks were cool--uses the platform well. He has nearly 2,000 friends, but what I find interesting (he would say "fascinating") is that he and I have nearly 400 shared friends.
So if you are interested in politics, want to eliminate the middle man and don't already have a Facebook account, sign up for one and if you do have an account, look me up and hit me with a friend request.
Sounds like someone we know is thinking about running for office

Yet, you my friend, rarely post a status update or even a link to your blog.

Social e-networking is like air power in battle, good for what its intended for but not able to put the ball over the goal line. Good old fashioned door knocking and meeting the voters is what determines the final election results - on the ground one yard at a time.
