"And it's geometric, Whoo! Just like this, immediately." Missouri Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill and Texas Republican Congressmen John Culberson are two of an estimated 71 members of Congress that are twittering. They have two of the largest Twitter followings, posting in committee, from the House floor and on the way to preside over the Senate, even Twittering during our interview.
