Twitter reports today that the most retweeted message of the Republican National Convention was the tongue-in-cheek response of President Obama's campaign to actor Clint Eastwood's odd routine with an empty chair and an "invisible" Obama.

Eastwood carried on a rambling conversation with the empty chair Thursday during the convention's prime-time television hour. Obama's campaign responded by tweeting a photo taken from behind of Obama sitting in a leather chair, with a brass tag on the back identifying the chair as being reserved for "The President." The tweet said: "This seat's taken."

Twitter spokeswoman Rachael Horwitz said in an e-mail Sunday, "Wanted to share some news we broke this morning after doing some analysis over the weekend: @BarackObama's 'This seat's taken' Tweet was the most RTed of the Republican National Convention."

As of Sunday afternoon, the tweet had been retweeted 51,400 times.
