Interesting to me. Perhaps to you.

And I thought they were my friends

By now, everyone knows how well Obama exploited the social media landscape to put together a grassroots movement that helped him turnout the vote 2.0 style.  But what happens when politicians join the social media revolution and then perform a major fail? Your friends quickly turn on you, or simply add you to hate on your wall. 

Today, what once was dinner table hating, suddenly becomes the public record, and the friends that once helped bring your digital body to life, suddenly rewrite you a whole new persona, public dick. 

So be prepared, if you're going to enter the conversation, and make friends, expect that they can turn on you in any second.  Especially if you, like Rod, decide to use a Senate seat as your personal bargaining chip.
