The New York Times has the story:
It may have been sort of a counterintuitive thought at one time, but it's become pretty well-established that Republicans on Capitol Hill have embraced Twitter more than Democrats.
But just how much congressional Republicans are out-Tweeting the Democrats may be a bit of a surprise. According to a new study from the public relations firm Fleishman-Hillard, House Republicans have pecked away on Twitter more than five times more frequently than their Democratic counterparts — sending out 29,162 tweets all told through Jan. 3, compared to 5,503 for Democrats.
The disparity wasn't quite as large over in the Senate, with the study's author, Fleishman-Hillard's Mark Senak, reporting that Republicans in that chamber dispatched 6,310 Tweets, while Democrats fired off 4,126. The study also found that about two-thirds of Congress' 132 active Tweeters are Republicans.
I subscribe to many GOP congressional Twitter feeds. They're not just Tweeting "No...No...No..."
