As the election nears and the volume of information increases, it seems we only have time for snippets of information, spin and opinions.

With that fact in mind, today we present a special Twitter edition of #Answerman.

Question: Was hard to concentrate on what cands were saying in last week’s pres debate and watch snark-filled Twitter roll too.. Advice? #overwhelmed

Answer: Turn sound down. Tweets are better way to follow complex issues of nation. They put the simple in simplistic. #140CharDemocracy

Q: Thnx. Agreed. I think Obama won debate ’cause more tweets were about him. Is this same as random sample polling?

A: Close enough for social media. More than 7.2 mil tweets sent during debate when average poll only talks to 1,000. #pseudoscience

Q: Gd pt. Thrown by the tie selection. Thought Const. says R wear red and D wear blue. Not sure what color either wore Tues #colorblindjustice

A: Not Constitution, just Nat. Debate Commission. Once Candy Crowley decided to break rules and ask tough follow-ups, rules went out the window.

Q: Some of those undecided voters at the Town Hall seemed pretty decided. Who picked them? #undecidedorbraindead

A: Gallup Poll found them, same poll that is now considered outlier among national polls. But undecided doesn’t mean unopinionated.

Q: I did notice that more of the undecideds on the stage were men. Is indecision a gender issue?

A: I don’t know. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn’t. I guess I could go either way. #gaahh

Q: Romney kept referring to econ conditions when Obama was elected vs. now. Does he know who was president that day? #romnesia

A: Must. Obama mentioned George W. Bush more than Romney did, and not always in negative way. #selectivememory

Q: Is it good politics for Romney to remind voters of the Bush II years? Not good memories for many.

A: Maybe. R’s blaming Obama for weak economy is kind of like starting pitcher who gave up 8 runs blaming bullpen when team is still behind.

Q: If Twitter is any judge, and of course it is, the most important topic of debate involved binders full of women. What r those again? #kinky

A: Romney said he had them when Mass. gov. Were filled with résumés to help him appoint women to high government offices.

Q: Oh. I guess that’s better than binders full of actual women cause that’s just weird #littlewomen

A: Agreed. But last politician who had binders full of women didn’t do so well #eliotspitzer

Q: Debate went 100 minutes and only 5 questions from voters. Why have real people there if they don’t get to talk. #humanprops

A: It gave Obama and Romney a chance to walk around, even get in each other’s space. Made for good TV #phildonahue

Q: But without the voters, who would have asked about gun control and education reform? Certainly not the moderator. #wholettheminhere

A: They might have gotten there after they’d exhausted their Benghazi and fiscal cliff questions. #beltwayissues

Q: I still can’t get binders full of women out of my head.

A: Who can.

Q: Why did they keep interrupting each other and that nice woman who was moderating? #kindergarten

A: Obama had to repair damage from first debate when voters thought he was asleep. Romney had to keep showing that he’s not intimidated by the president. #kindergarten

Q: Seems juvenile. Isn’t there a better way to pick the leader of the free world?

A: You mean other than Twitter?

Q: I have to go. This exchange has cost me a hundred followers. #yourenohelp

A: Me too. Better go back to retweeting @LarrySabato and @staypuft. #itswhatIdo.
