I wonder how Twitter will effect voting on Tuesday?

Seems to me there might be a lot of endorsements/reminders to vote Twittered on Tuesday. This will be the first election in the Twitter era and, yeah, some people who might not have bothered to vote might get motivated at the last minute by the encouragement of one of the celebs they follow. The influence of Twitter not measured, nor perhaps measurable, in any polling.

My thought is that this new wrinkle works in favor of Dems. But we'll see.

1. Wasn't 2008 the first election of the Twitter era?

3. Twitter had a fraction of the volume in 2008 it commands today

2. Do Twitterers vote?

I'm sure some do, but I'd be interested in seeing some stats on that.
