Laying the Foundation for a Congressional Twitter Feed
Which came first: the rock-star hog castrator or the egg?
In the case of Sen.-elect Joni Ernst, it would appear the chicken embryo wins.
The Iowa Republican, who has already begun making the rounds in #ThisTown after clinching the seat being vacated by retiring Democrat Tom Harkin, must now shift from campaign mode to (*fingers crossed*) full-on congressional over sharer .
Ernst has more than 11,000 followers on her personal Twitter account. The placeholder Senate feed is off to a slow start (eight) — although it has already attracted a lobbyist, a policy wonk and a handful of random admirers/potential trolls.
