Comments on: If Elections Were Fought on Facebook… http://www.womnfocus.com/2009/08/25/if-elections-were-fought-on-facebook/ A site dedicated to encouraging women in Minnesota to be more politically active Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:54:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: robinmarty http://www.womnfocus.com/2009/08/25/if-elections-were-fought-on-facebook/comment-page-1/#comment-60 robinmarty Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:45:51 +0000 http://www.womnfocus.com/blog/?p=334#comment-60 For those looking, Thissen's page can be found here. http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=thissen&init=quick#/Thissen2010?ref=search&sid=564710398.1752414603..1 He has 261 supporters currently. I'm surprised in general about how little the pages are being used at this point as more than just news feeds. Having this many supporters in one place would be a great place to poll on messages, start organizing house parties, even raise some funds. So far, no one seems to be doing much of that. Well, maybe after the Fair -- that always seems to be the official season kickoff. For those looking, Thissen’s page can be found here.

Susan sends out a lot of donation requests, but rarely any substance. I find Marty's stuff to be rather stiff and uninteresting (not surprising, I suppose).
