A Twitter War Between Axelrod and Fehrnstrom

It did not even take the full 140-characters to start the Great Twitter War Monday afternoon.

And then the two men were off, going back and forth in some 140-character rapid-fire debate day trash-talking that finally wound down nearly a dozen Twitter posts and more than two hours later, after Mr. Axelrod referred to Mr. Fehrnstrom as “Dude.”
