Candidates and elected officials please take note on why you should not be at the helm of your social networking. I can count maybe one or two campaigns that successfully used Twitter or Facebook but I can count a whole lot more candidates who's campaigns failed horribly by incorrectly using social media.
Here's an example of Twitter gone bad:
Aleq Boyle, who filed his paperwork on March 4, 2010 to run for Georgia's Lt. Governor as a Republican, has a Twitter account. When you google Aleq Boyle, you find such pleasantries that he has tweeted across the internets, like this:

Seriously? Seriously? This guy is running to become a State Constitutional officer. Does he think tweeting this utterly racist statement will make voters believe that he will represent all Georgia citizens? I'm thinking that the 1,685,282 Black registered voters in the State of Georgia, which represents almost 30% of all registered voters, might not think Aleq Boyle will represent them if he is ever elected.
You might think I'm getting my panties in a bunch over one tweet. Nope Aleq Boyle seems to have a history of tweeting racist thoughts. Here's another precious gem from the Grand Wizard himself.

Aleq, it might be ok not to speak in political correct terms when you are sitting by the campfire warming your sheets by the burning of a few crosses, but you should really get a clue when you a) have an open twitter account and b) want to run for public office.
This might be appropriate twitter chat if Aleq was running for Mayor of lily white Mayberry (although I think Andy Griffith would kick his ass), but he's not. This dysfunctional wannabe Grand Wizard is trying to run for Statewide office.
Once again, the Georgia Republicans have another poster boy candidate to represent them.
