[blogslut]

She doesn't know much about FB but her "expert" tells her that pols with the most FB fans won their primaries.

Hey, Candy! Ever hear of Astroturf?

As Rick Perry and Bill White have stepped up their efforts on social media services such as Twitter and Facebook, it's very easy to get a campaign pitch from the candidates, their staff members and tens of thousands of supporters.

But it's not always clear how close a person using Twitter is to a campaign.

Noam Krig, a Texas State University alumnus who was a social media intern for the Texans for Rick Perry campaign, has been posting a heavy stream of pro-Perry and anti-White links on a Twitter account at twitter.com/weRaustin, an account he's run for at least a year. He also appears to be behind other Texas city accounts like weRhouston and weRsanantonio.

But it's not so easy to figure out; the accounts list no name and offer no link to an affiliated website that would identify Krig as their owner...

4. And the other two are brain dead.

Candy and Leslie are two of the main reasons I surf right on past CNN.

Candy is a Bushbot and A kool-aid pusher.

6. Normally I don't watch CNN

8. David Gregory just about makes me hurl...

And I have a very strong stomach. For what it's worth, I forgive you and I DO understand.

When I was a kid I had a stuffed toy monkey that looked just like David Gregory. Dave is Jack Welch's main man now that Timmy Taterhead is down there with Reagan.

2. Does Candy EVER report on anything of substance

let alone get it right?

eidted out last sentence - confused her with another talking head.

3. Does that jackass not understand that

not everyone votes in the primaries? Or, that those who voted for the loser will automatically vote for their party's winner? (See: Christine O'Donnell, Alvin Greene, Joel Miller...)

5. Who let Shrek out?

One of the reasons I don't watch CNN.

9. Every time I hear that name I think of "Creepy Crawley"

What a wart.

7. She has heard of astroturf

10. hmm ... was the count of the FB fans before or after their primaries?

I can see a bunch of FB pages getting "fanned" when they win ...
