Game of governing and politics. Phil, you made a point that tweeting wasnt the same. Some people dont know what the hell it is now but it has changed dramatically since 2008. I put it even further context in, when i was in the white house, a couple of oust would meet up with leon panetta every night and we would look at the three tvs, abc, cbs, whatever the other one was and, see whether our good stories had risen or whether the bad stories had gone down.
