Wowza: The McCain Count.

Yesterday on his Twitter account, John McCain tweeted, "We're only 74 Twitter followers away from 3M - spread the word & help us reach this big milestone!"

The people responded. McCain lost 27,000 followers at one point yesterday. There were 24,000 comments. And overwhelmingly they were blasting him for his vote on the tax bill. One poster tweeted, "I don't follow him but I followed him just to unfollow him."

He's recovering a bit now; he's lost about 14,000 followers. Regardless, it's a valid sign that as the bill's details are increasingly publicized, the anger nationwide will grow.

McCain has been dead to me for awhile,
well, all Reeps actually.

If a Reep "appears" to do something "good,"
trust that it's a cover for undoing the same
thing later under a different guise.
