		<description><![CDATA[what I liked most about the Stop HST Tweet-in this morning is that the Provincial Opposition party initiated it. By doing that, they not only engaged their supporters, they essentially went on record saying your Tweets matter. That means they have to listen when people Tweet them. Will the Government, or HST supporters try to launch their own Twitter campaign? Will they try keep their heads down and pretend their voters aren't also members of the Twittersphere? Or will they come out strongly dismissing the Tweets and risk alienating Tweeters on both sides of the HST divide? <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=klear.wordpress.com&amp;blog=973032&amp;post=486&amp;subd=klear&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
