Tweeting and greeting on election day
Whether it is standing on a street corner waving signs or tweeting for votes, the candidates and the parties are making a final election-day push for votes.
Former President Clinton called in to radio stations in Ohio on Tuesday, urging voters to support the Democratic ticket, and he planned to make similar calls in Pennsylvania. In Florida, gubernatorial candidates Alex Sink, the Democrat, and Rick Scott, the Republican, planned to stand on street corners waving signs seeking voters’ support. Other candidates tweeted for votes and greeted voters at polling places.
Among party officials making the rounds on TV, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, chairman of the Republican Governors Assn., said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that even if Republicans score significant gains, it’s “not the American people saying, we love you Republicans; it’s the American people saying, now, Republicans, we’ll give you another chance. You’d better do better this time.”
