Since it's "Top Chef" Wednesday, we're going to take a page from the cheftestants, who can't seem to resist putting a duo or trio of entrees on one plate ("Pork three ways? Wow!"), and present to you three nuggets of Twitter-related political news all in one post.

First for your pleasure is the news that Democrats in California might be getting a boost from the Twitter "suggested users" list that recommends folks to follow when you first sign up for the service; Gavin Newsome and Jerry Brown are both featured tweeters, but, reports the Associated Press, there are no Republican candidates to be found. Yet California Republicans still seem to be forging ahead on the Twitter front, which brings us to our second story. Tonight, a couple or a few of the GOP candidates for the '10 governor's race in that state will be engaging in a Twitter debate. Follow along on #cadebate. And rounding out our plate is word that Republicans in Connecticut were told by Twitter to knock off their fake Twitter profiles for Democratic state representatives. Twitter's argument: it's not fair to expect a reasonable person to know that they were parody accounts. If that's the standard, Twitter might want to do some digging into this guy. Enjoy.
