NBC News: Donnelly is “a pioneer of on-the-fly sketching of live events — an art she calls tweet-drawing”

Lauren Prince, a reporter for NBC News,  got in touch with Liza before the New York Primary and asked if she could videotape her live drawing of the evening’s returns as she watched them.  They had a great time talking politics, watching the returns, and discussing new media.  Here is the article Prince wrote about Liza, and she did a Snapchat during the evening as well.  According to Prince,  within moments of beginning, the NBC Snapchat had 100 viewers.

Sarah, Michelle, and Newt

So we have two confirmed candidates in the Republican party, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. My first thought is, can we have a president named “Newt?”   I found it interesting that Mr. Gingrich, as advanced in age as he is, immediately sought to make his age a non-issue by announcing his candidacy on FB and youtube. He’s hip, we are to think.  At least his staff thinks they are.

What I look forward to seeing is what the little girls in the cartoon above are thinking. While I am not sympathetic to the Republican cause, I am nonetheless happy to see candidates who are women stand up strongly to candidates who are men. Plus, it would make great theater, don’t you think? Throw a little Trump in there, mix it up with a dash of Huckabee and garnish with Mitt. You might like it spiced with Jindal or Rudy. And, of course, Pawlenty on the side.
