*ongoing* Romney FB likes crash as Ron Paul's steadily rises

[Bastiat's The Law]

These numbers are a bellwether where the polls and people are being swayed.

 

[sailingaway]

Yeah, but someone pointed out that now a bunch of campaigns just buy them. Ron's doesn't, of course, but Romney may have and some of the cratering might be fake accounts that are closed, or something. He's lost 100,000 since the election about, otherwise....

May want to start tracking the Rand Paul 2016 page as well: http://www.facebook.com/randpaul16?ref=ts&fref=ts

There's another big Rand Paul 2016 page with about 4,500 more likes, so it might be better to track that one instead. http://www.facebook.com/randpaul16?ref=ts&fref=ts#!/RandPaulForPresident?fref=ts

I didn't know people even bothered to unlike something once they liked it on facebook. It could be dummy accounts that are now being deleted that were set up just to boost his like numbers on facebook.

Quite possible. I unliked a few of the candidates I supported during the election though, just because I didn't want to see any of their stuff in my newsfeed anymore.

And how many unlikes are just RP supporters signing off after trolling?

I don't think there would be that many people "trolling" that way. Liking and then unliking would not change the total number of likes at all, so to make it look like a drop they would have to wait a while. Considering the effort and miniscule amount of outcome (who cares if a page with over 10 million likes goes down one?) I doubt it would make any real impact on the numbers here.

Good day for Rand, slow day for everyone else.

 

[Rudeman]

Rand has had some solid gains, Rubio can't even keep up with Ron's gains.

Who is running the Rand for President 2016 Facebook pages???

I see at least two of them, with differing numbers of likes... and I want to make sure the ones I am promoting are run by legitimate Rand or liberty people...

I "liked" both of them, and they both seem fine. There are a few others, but they don't have nearly as many likes as the two big ones.

updated for today.

Rubio has a dismal +250 to Rand's +3500 (thats 14 times more). so much for a 'rising star' lmao

 

[Rudeman]

I saw this wasn't updated for today so I decided to to it. I also added hyperlinks to their facebook pages (click on the person's name).

[afwjam]

I like what I am seeing.

 

[UWDude]

Oh yeah!?

Well the number of people with the Romney logo tatooed on their face is way higher than the number of people with a Ron Paul sign tatooed to theirs.
