ABC World News Webcast anchor Charles Gibson declared Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Barbara Ann Radnofsky winner of the World’s Fastest BlackBerry Type-off, 3:32 to Mark Halperin’s 5:14.
Opponent Mark Halperin, political editor for ABC News, has the fastest pair of thumbs at ABC and said, prior to the contest, “New York City pride is on the line, and I don’t intend to lose.”

He is now well-schooled in Texas pride: Barbara Ann typed 120 words in 3:32.
Radnofsky did not see the contest text until the moment of the contest. ABC faxed the text, and with cameras rolling, Radnofsky's staff filmed the fax coming off the machine, put it on Barbara’s desk, and away she went. Radnofsky's secret technique involves using her thumb and index finger and touch-typing without looking at the keyboard. Pretenders to the throne typically depend on their thumbs and must look back and forth from the screen to the text.
