"I think Republicans tend to take more risks than Democrats with social media," Farris says, pointing to the Perry campaign's Spanish-language Twitter account and reports that the Perry campaign has paid others to tweet and Facebook about the governor. Democrats, on the other hand, have generally have been more predictable.
Seriously?
Who are they paying... and for that matter... how do I cash in on this... come on guys, throw me a bone here...
Actually when you think about the left and blogs in Texas, it is mostly peeps funded by the Texas Democratic Trust or some other similar group... maybe if Republicans wanted to dominate the net they should get a big funder to devote some serious money to paying bloggers and staff to do web work...
You guys paying attention?
Get the top 5-10 Republican guys together, have them each throw in fifty or a hundred grand, and go out and hire an editor or manager who would probably be someone with strong political connections, a couple of bloggers who just have a talent for writing and researching, a multimedia guy who can make videos and animate things and be creative, and a strict nerdy webmaster guy who can make it all work, then put them in an office in downtown Austin and then feed them information on a regular basis.
I know that is what the Lone Star Report and the Texas Insider and others purport to be, but they are not getting the job done. You need peeps who are ruthless political operatives hell bent on destroying Democrats and helping Republicans get elected and win policy fights in the lege...

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.
