Obama is winning the social vote by a landslide

2/20/2012

President Obama may have a long campaign ahead of him, but one area in which he continues to dominate is on the social media front. The commander-in-tweet has more than 25 million Facebook likes and upwards of 12.5 million Twitter followers -- significantly more than any of his Republican competitors. According to this infographic shown on Mashable, Romney and Newt tie for second, with Ron Paul, Rick Santorum and late-to-the-game Libertarian Gary Johnson trailing, in that order. The president may be able to sit back on his online laurels, but we do suggest changing how he signs the tweets he personally posts: "BO" just seems like it's asking for it.
