WASHINGTON (CNN) — John McCain said during the presidential campaign that he "never felt the particular need to e-mail," but he has apparently developed an urge to Twitter.
McCain recently began sending tweets to the more than 88,000 Twitter users following him online, offering brief updates on floor votes, media appearances and his hometown Phoenix Suns.

"I use the BlackBerry, but I don't e-mail, I've never felt the particular need to e-mail," he told the paper.
