Is Fred Cutting Edge or Dull?

True, campaign blogs, Facebook and MySpace pages are pretty standard practice...

But all I know is I had a Twitter friend request from Fred Thompson less than 6 hours after his team announced their online efforts had officially kicked off, which is more than I've had from any other Republican presidential campaign in that particular milieu.

Argue all you want the relative value of Twitter, but it does signal a deep awareness of the online setting, even relatively new applications.

So, yeah, I'm with Matt.
