It is a commonplace and probably largely accurate observation that younger users avail themselves of Twitter more than older users. Most people might therefore make the assumption that backers of Barack Obama twitter more than backers of John McCain. That probably is true as well. But if an analysis of Twitter messages during the recent Democratic and Republican conventions is correct, there must have been lots of younger viewers.
Except for when Joe Biden was speaking, John McCain, Sarah Palin and Barack Obama generated fairly high and comparable levels of activity, according to Twitter.
That implies nothing about "support" or anything else, simply interest (or "outrage" or whatever you want to imply about what you think people were saying).
