It’s been a long, hard road for some of our contestants, but the FamousDC Final Four is finally here. Congrats to all the players [Frank Luntz included] for taking the time to flex your Twitter muscles.  We hope this contest has not only helped you reshape your self-worth in the form of new followers, but taught you that Democrats and Republicans do have one thing in common – they’re both way more popular online than in real life. 

Throughout this contest we’ve seen it all. From stories about Sean Hackbarth shaving his man region, to MK Hammer flexing her guns, to Sally Albright risking arrest by peppering the entire city with #FDC tags, to pleas for David All and his Revolution to join the fun, to Ana Marie Cox dropping the ACORN bomb from the White House briefing room and all strange points in between – it’s been one intense ride.

But the fun is not yet over.  For the lucky four still left, there’s work to be had.  Below is a tip sheet for the finalists.  Remember, creativity counts more than ever.

PS: We’re still waiting on the homeless guy holding the #FDC hashtag.
