"Unfollow everybody except these 8 Twitter accounts. Trust us.\n\n The Scoop Machines Everyone Should Follow \n\n @BuzzfeedBen\n\n It was a shock to the journalism world when BuzzFeed, that compendium of cat-videos, plunged into news reporting. It was more surprising yet when we all started reading their coverage, led by former Politico star Ben Smith, incessantly. \"Ben seems to have the same values and political-junkie appetite as The Times' home-grown journalists, but he brings a speed and nimbleness and a keen sensitivity to the audience, along with a sense of fun,\" says Bill Keller, New York Times Op-Ed columnist.\n\n @RobertCostaNRO\n\n Robert Costa, a politics reporter for the conservative National Review, is one of the best reporters on the campaign circuit this year, producing both reliable scoops\u2014he first brought word that Paul Ryan was being vetted for Vice President\u2014and longer profiles of the people behind Romney's presidential campaign. Follow him for real-time reactions from his wealth of sources in the GOP.\n\n The Conservatives Liberals Should Follow: \n\n @JPodhoretz\n\n John Podhoretz, the editor of Commentary, writes columns there and in The New York Post that are, well, what you'd expect: doctrinaire, unyielding, a little obnoxious. But his tweets are anything but\u2014they're witty, punchy, surprising, and he spends as much time screwball-bantering with progressives as hammering at them. (His Twitter brawls, whether it's with Ezra Klein or @TheStalwart or a troll, are more fun than the HBO Saturday night fights.)\n\n @AnaNavarro\n\n There are a number of good reasons to follow Navarro, a CNN contributor, on debate night. As the national Hispanic co-chair of John McCain's 2008 bid, she has the experience and expertise to explain big picture presidential analysis as well as the innerworkings of the political scene in her home state of Florida. Navarro is a Republican, but she can be counted on to tell it like it is: when Obama's messing up, when Romney's messing up, when the commentators are messing up.\n\n The Liberals Conservatives Should Follow: \n\n @aseitzwald\n\n Alex Seitz Wald, a Salon writer covering the 2012 race, has the best Twitter account you're not already following. Expect a hyper-caffeinated mash-up of DC wonkery, scooplets and jokes.\n\n @clarajeffery\n\n Jeffery is co-editor of Mother Jones, the magazine that had the biggest scoop of the campaign cycle. Follow her for more links, context and analysis than you could possibly get to in 90 minutes. Even if you only absorb a fraction of it, you'll be a smarter debate watcher for it.\n\n The Funny Guys to Follow Because You're Going to Need a Laugh \n\n @max_read\n\n We're not entirely sure how to describe Gawker writer Max Read's weird, performative Twitter feed. But he can always be counted on to find some of the weirdest and worst of the medium, retweet them, copy them verbatim without attribution, and Tweet-troll the offending writers for maximum hilarity.\n\n @robdelaney\n\n If you're not already following Rob Delaney, comedian and Romney antagonist, here are a few recent Tweets that should convince you. \"Obama should mount the debate stage in a carriage pulled by toddlers whose cancer was cured through RomneyCare.\" \".@BarackObama 1 day cats dogs will be allowed 2 voat u will 4ever b known as the Presidemt who said no that basic right #tcot #NObama\" \"These debates are about as significant to the election as the Iowa Caucuses or an episode of Hoarders.\"\n\nTweets from @GQPolitics/debates-2012"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
