I don't follow american politics. Nevertheless JhonMcCain43 follows me... I think some supporter (or McCain himself) is doing a weird use of twitter. In Italy too politicians are strating to use SN sites for their campaigns. You can find our democrat candidate Walter Veltroni on Twitter, but (for the moment) it's not he who follows me but (if I want) vice versa. ciao! Giulio Think:
