Is John McCain's right-left-and-center blogger outreach strategy savvy or just too contrived?; the Obama campaign gives Google juice to rumors about their candidate; McCain's "virtual town hall" looks a great deal like a conference call; the long record of congressional history makes not of the very first Twitter debate live from the House floor; a Pennsylvania congressman caught in a "gotcha" moment over video about the Iraq warand more.

Have we spotted (or started) a trend? Now, after my story on Rep. John Culberson's Twittering from the House floor, Rep. Tim Ryan has just tweeted that he is "getting ready to twitter from the House floor."

This is so cute. "It's like watching a child learning to go to the toilet on their own. 'Look, ma, I'm twittering!'"
