Hoffman for Senate from Illinois

The Hoffman Campaign for Senate from Illinois

The candidate is into all things internet. He has a new website that he advertises as the latest in website design at:

Send me email, he says. He does Twitter and Facebook and Flickr. He has a New Media Director who sent this email.

The search phrase is the user name on Twitter "Hoffman4IL" It produced 38 messages at the first search. He started on Twitter in August, 2009, and has sent 85 status updates. He is following 209 and is followed by 151.

I believe he has a long way to go to catch up with the favorite; maybe internet will help.

The last messages were on February 8, 2010, which was a few days after the election. The total number of messages was 834.

The figure shows the distribution over time.

He and his supporters were off to a slow start that began to build in January. But it was not enough.

The data files are hoffman4il.xml and hoffman4il.txt, which is a tab delimited file that can be read with Excel.
