Rand over 400,000. He is leaving Rubio in the dust.

Updated for today and since we've been doing this for two straight weeks, I'm going to start bringing the updates weekly and then bi-weekly.

Thanks again to Rudeman for being there when I was busy or totally forgot to update. I'll still need you in the future man!

The credit for the 18th and 19th should go to kathy88. I just adjusted it to include the 17th (which you did).

 

[Aratus]

yes... duckies... the numbers are neat and statistical!!!
FB gains + Rand Paul = a sweet 2016 or 2020 potus run?

done and done!

And for anybody that wishes to see the numbers in-between the weekly updates, feel free to post them up in here the way Rudeman did it and I will input it to the OP.

 

[Mahkato]

Isn't there someone who can write a script to grab these numbers automatically?

 

[Shane Harris]

We are adding young people for the most part, because that is still the predominant fb demographic. People like Rubio will have next to zero likes before the media pumps him up for two weeks then he will have 1 million. It's how it works. however Ron Paul has been growing and growing steadily ever since I liked him on facebook way back 4 years ago when he only had around 100,000.

This could easily be done automatically using the facebook API. Doubt it's important enough for anyone to want to host though.

9 days since last tally. SO... Ron is gaining 99 likes a day, Mitt is losing 9655, Rand is gaining 1722 and Marco is gaining 32 likes per day on average

 

[itshappening]

Rand has a few facebook accounts but appears to be using the RandPaul2010 one the most, there is also SenatorRandPaul which has 30,000 odd likes.

 

[EBounding]

Ron could probably get more "likes" if he posted frequently.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

ill bet you some of mitts likes were purchased somehow...

 

[TCE]

You can spend a bunch of money on Facebook's own advertising to increase your likes. He probably spent tens of thousands on that.

 

[Jackie Moon]

From Rand's page insights...

Most popular age group: 55+

 

[garyallen59]

^that's good

 

[itshappening]

yeah, older people vote, especially in the primaries. Go Rand GO!

 

[sailingaway]

Ron could probably get more "likes" if he posted frequently.

Ron hasn't tweeted ONE tweet from @RonPaul since RNC. His facebook account has mostly been about Rand, since then and isn't posted frequently. He is making zero push on it, of course. But I'm hoping that after January's 'announcement', whatever it is, he will start using them again. He won't be a congressman and it won't have cross over issues, I should think.

Just did the weekly update.
