Well, since Twitter is the latest social site sweeping the Internet, I figured I would take a look at some of the ideas being thrown around about today’s primary. Some are insightful. Some are just amusing. All of the most interesting tweets from today’s Democratic primary are below, separated by the candidate’s name which yielded the response in Twitter search.

Enjoy.

The Creigh Deeds Search:

From the skeptical side of things:

“Buzz seems to be that McAuliffe will lose to Creigh Deeds in VA today, though when the buzz starts becoming unanimous I get suspicious.” -TwoYearSprint

From the ever-growing camp of weather-watchers:

“These storms in NoVa have to be good news for Creigh “I have no base in NoVa” Deeds, right?” -daveweigel

Somebody did some research:

“Fascinating to me: Creigh Deeds’ home of Bath County does not have a stoplight.” -jimgeraghty

No confirmation on the accuracy of this one:

“Creigh Deeds has a donkey named Harry S. Truman? DEEDS4GOV” -rickpuig

Somewhat depressing conversation on turnout:

“Are those percents or number of votes? RT @MatthewGagnon: Final prediction: Creigh Deeds 41% Terry McAuliff 38% Brian Moran 21%” -FrankCanzolino

Talk about the tortoise beating the hare:

“The Terry McAuliffe campaign has called me non-stop for 60 days despite the assurance of my vote. This is harrasment, vote for Creigh Deeds.” -Slalex54

At least one person is already thinking of the celebration:

“YouTube song thought: If Creigh Deeds wins VA Gov primary, music should be AC-DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” -HowardMortman

The Terry McAuliffe Search:

Can’t deny his energy:

“McAuliffe GOTV e-mail says, ‘I just talked with Terry a few minutes ago, and he’s pumped.’ Will the next one say ‘Sun will set in west’?” -mikemadden

All about the green:

“I voted for McAuliffe. It takes money to beat McDonnell in Nov and no one can raise money like Terry. Plus: NO LOBBYIST DONATIONS.” -kostia

The McAuliffe camp has been going all out today:

“just got hit up for a Facebook chat by ‘Terry McAuliffe’. Today’s Democratic gubernatorial primary must be running pretty tight.” -killerpr

Nothing like a good recent history joke:

“Will Terry McAuliffe concede tonight or will he search for Virginia Democratic superdelegates?” -daveweigel (thats two for this tweeter)

Another weather related tweet:

“Massive storms in NoVa = bad for Terry McAuliffe. Surprised he didn’t spend some campaign cash seeding clouds to get the rain out earlier.” -mikemadden (two for him also)

The Brian Moran Search

Moran may be helping Deeds out:

“@joannegrace I never bothered trying to vote. I think I want Brian Moran but Deeds would be okay too. Just not McAuliffe, he’s nuts.” -amperjess

Apparently Moran’s camp has some “helpers” out there:

“There’s nothing quite like converting an undecided voter to Brian Moran & then having them thank you for your ‘help.’ #va-go” -csread61

A last second rush to the polls on the horizon?

“Leaving work soon. Going to my polling place and vote for Brian Moran! Checking with the wife to make sure she voted too. Go Brian!” -srhem

Could have sworn that was for the NHL playoffs:

“The rally beard’s magical power is working the good vibes for Brian. Vote for Brian Moran for Governor today!” -bhschenker

A rare sentiment:

“has told Friends of Terry 3 times that I voted for Brian this morning. Hope they keep calling me and not others. Go Moran!” -joestanley

One Hokie is not a fan:

“One of the best things about the end of this primary will be the end to the stream of 100′s of daily Brian Moran emails.” -hokiestone

There are probably better reasons to vote for a candidate:

“Two over 40 sisters said they are voting for Brian Moran! psst they said their maiden name is Moran! You go girls!” -IamBVM

Now all the tweeters have to do is wait for the results of their campaigning, or commenting. No matter what happens, you’ve got to admire the determination of this guy:

“last vote in Virginia snow, sleet, downpour, thunderstorm, apocalypse now, nothing stops me from voting.” -musicmatt

Polls close in a little under an hour. Check back for results as they come in. Zc
