While last night’s final debate may not have generated a quote as repeated as Gov. Romney’s “binders full of women” line from their previous debate, President Obama did have some zingers on military spending. And the so-called Twitter-verse took notice.
The president jabbed at Romney’s criticism on budget cuts by saying “we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed.”
According to Twitter, at 9:45 PM ET, when Obama mentioned “horses and bayonets”, tweets per minute reached 105,767, more than at any other point during the debate. Total overall tweets sent during the 90-minute debate reached 6.5 million, and the topic #horsesandbayonets was trending a half hour after the debate ended.
