In contrast, Kreiss finds that Obama's digital team had "more autonomy," which made it easier for staffers "to respond to political events in the moment and in a communicative style that accords with the norms and expectations of networked publics on Twitter." He cites a humorous tweet from the @BarackObama feed responding to Clint Eastwood's "empty chair" Republican convention speech earlier that night. Obama didn't have to be concerned about the media reporting any screwups on his part. Meanwhile, if anyone on Romney's team screwed up it would lead the news for a week or two. That's the reality of running against a candidate for whom the media are in the tank. It was smart. But it is hard to overcome media bias on the scale of what we've seen the last two presidential elections.
