From Roll Call:

Democrats are hoping they’ve found a secret weapon for winning back the House in 2012: Twitter.
House Democrats say that while they may be outnumbered, they stand to come out ahead by becoming more savvy to social media to stay more directly connected to the public.

Whether or not Twitter proves to be their salvation, they have at least chosen an easily attaiable goal. This quote from former Speaker Pelosi is well within the character limit:

“[W]e have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy.”
