As one of the “old people” I know the difference. It’s my wife who’s confused. When I’m sexting her she texts back “where are you”, “are you lost again”, “should I come and get you, you can follow me home”. Jeez.

I don’t know if Clyburn utilizes texting or sexting but he is ok with me. So the hard right can keep searching for Weiner.

Damn it, Jim!

‘Sexting’ is what gets out the GOP vote! Especially from underaged boys.

If it takes sexting to get the Democratic base off its dead ass in a midterm election, I’m all for it.

GOTV is always about finding that motivating factor. So yes indeed he may be on to something

“Hey baby, lets get to the polls early and then spend the day in bed!”

“Only if you show wearing nothing but that sexy I Voted sticker!!”
