While we looked at the candidates’ social-media presence fairly often during the primary, we haven’t done much with it since. To that end, I am going to review the online presence of each candidate (not counting independents or write-ins) in…

AR-02: Well, That's One Way To Put It
I was working on the AR-02 social-media analysis, when I noticed something interesting. Rather than simply tell you, however, I have an idea; let’s play a game. Tell me what you notice about this screen shot. Did you see it? …
AR-01: Social Media Usage And Analysis
While we looked at the candidates’ social-media presence fairly often during the primary, we haven’t done much with it since. To that end, I am going to review the online presence of each candidate (not counting independents or write-ins) in…

AR-Sen: Lincoln's Final Ad
