No matter what you thought of the last three debates, one thing is certain: Twitter has become the most fun place to watch them.
From Big Bird to the new meme-worthy “Binder full of women,” the American electorate has proven itself to be engaging and witty in 140 characters or less.
Unsurprisingly, some politicians and pundits from the DMV area got in on the act -- though it's worth noting that Republicans stayed relatively quiet, while Democrats had plenty to say. Here are some of their tweets:
Americans shouldn't buy Mitt's #SketchyDeal. The math doesn't add up. #Debates#TeamObama—

Looks like you didn't do your homework Governor! The moderator had to remind you! Take him to school President Obama! #Obama2012

Mitt shot his whole wad in the first debate.

Tonight Mitt Romney won the debate and reinforced the clear choice facing the American people.

The Champ is back! "Float like a butter fly and sting like a bee". Go Obama go!

I am starting to think that the women's vote might be important on Nov. 6.

Congrats to Candy Crowley first woman moderator in 20 years. Long overdue! What took the commission so long.
