Rick vs. Kay twitpic comparison...

Rick and Kay both use twitpic to get their photos out to the masses... Rick's twitter is up near 20,000 people while @TeamKay has a little over 2,000... maybe there is a reason for the disparity... behold the differences in tweets...

Kay's drab and dour twitpic from the underwhelming Cheney event...


vs. Rick's twitpic from the RGA with the two political stars of the hour Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie... they look like he just told them a joke... or maybe they just got a kick out of the fact that he actually does his own twitter... "don't you have people for that?"

Another from TeamKay with Karen Hughes... Kay's body language just radiates defeat as Paul Burka would say...


vs. Rick's twitpic from his Norman fund raiser with J.C. Watts and another OU football great... what Republican doesn't love J.C. FRACKING Watts... that guy is a rock star... I wonder why no Barry Switzer in the pic though?

One of Kay at "neutral posture" in College Station which is ironically named given Kay's lack of a strong stand on much of anything...


vs. Rick's group twitpic from Aggieland which made a bunch of women on twitter get all hot and bothered...


Kay giving a speech with her eyes closed to... maybe nobody?... regarding the Prop 11 vote...
vs. Rick tweeting from the stage at RGA... a pic of John Kasich, Tim Pawlenty, some white haired guy, and Bobby Jindal...

Kay speaking in an industrial warehouse with a podium made of boxes...

vs. Rick tweeting a "car quiz" and asking people what kind of vehicle this is...
This is night and day folks... and it is symbolic of the entire campaign... Kay is going through the motions, Rick is having fun and really running an efficient campaign machine... I think Rick's embrace of this twitter stuff coincided with his surge... I am not ready to declare that Rick tweeting is why he is up in the polls... no, I think that is because he is generally more conservative and Kay is more moderate... but there does seem to be some connection on the timeline with Rick's campaign winning over former skeptics and his embrace of social media... maybe a coincidence? Probably, but it does make you wonder...

  1. I follow Rick Perry on Twitter, he is really, really fun to follow because he is real and you get to see the personal side to our great Governor.
    But that is not the only reason I am going to be voting for him in the primary AND general election. Quite simply, he has earned every bit of my support! I do not know of any other person who really loves what he does for a living like he does and absolutely ADORES TEXAS like Rick Perry does! He is making a huge, positive difference for the great state of Texas, and anyone who tries to take that away from him has got to be one of the biggest a*holes of all time!
    I think he also has some pretty awesome similarities with Sam Houston! Which is another big plus!

    Also, I've got to see him personally a number of times and EVERY TIME he is genuine, and a straight up sweetheart!! When he is speaking with you, it’s like you are the only person he is focused on for that time, and he really values the time he spends with his fellow Texans. He is also even better looking in person... which I didn't think was possible, but it is! But in all seriousness, if you don’t agree with his ideology, that is one thing but if someone actually gets the chance to speak with him... I don’t see how you could possibly have a bad word to say against him… unless you are just brain-dead.

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
