Not necessarily, but it's still a representation of the public. Think about what's actually happening; these numbers compare how many average-joe Americans decided to "like" each candidate. It can't be a bad thing when these numbers reflect positively for Paul. The internet is our house anyways, let's continue to dominate.

um, Ericcams, it's 12/12/11, not 12/12/12 on everybody. Thanks.

Yeah sorry, got caught up thinking about my tax plan to save America. 12,12,12. In all seriousness though, I brain farted and I'll fix it tomorrow.

Personally I think these numbers do give us a some idea of who has momentum. But it might be biased slightly towards younger people, though that's less true now then it used to be. I think the average user is still under 40 though.

The numbers seem to reflect the trend in the polls. When Cain was getting a ridiculous number of likes every day (3000+), he was surging. Same for Newt. Romney has been the steadiest, as have his poll numbers. You have to look at the trend over 10 or 20 days imo to figure out who has momentum.

I hope I'm right because looking at the graph, there's no question we have it right now. We've been slowly gaining since about 11/25 and then just exploded after the debate. I'm really optimistic about seeing some more polls this week.

Bachmann is gaining again???? The Newt Romney comment must have worked a little

She had me at "win win win" plan. I'm sold. I find her cute as well.

To be honest I thought she had a good debate. If I were ranking them, I'd probably say she was second behind Paul. Her whole " Newt Romney" rant was great. I think she really helped our chances there. It was basically a simultaneous attack ad on our biggest opponents seen by 8 million viewers.

 

[Thurifer]

He's got momentum! I'm excited about this upcoming moneybomb!

Leaving Cain on for now just to compare the relative explosions in Facebook likes for comparisons when a surge happens.

I didn't see that at all. She was pandering to Cain's supporters. A few months back she was the one who said "the devil is in the details, 666". She really came out against Cain on the 999 plan and it looked really stupid of her to now say how amazing his 999 plan had been. It was a complete 180 change from her previous position.

I'll hand it to her for the Newt Romney thing, but that was it. Everything else was almost too embarrassing for me to watch.

These charts I think are very significative of what is going on and Dr Paul is undeniably surging right now. Another interesting observation that I think can be made from them is that Newt's support comes mostly from old people that don't use the internet, because although a small surge is visible in the charts it is not enough to propel him to where he got in the polls. The surge seen by Cain was much more noticeable. I think in a week the Dr will be leading the Iowa polls. I never thought we'd see the day when enough zombies, err I mean Americans, would wake up for President Paul to become a reality. I am really excited about our chances at this point.

I agree about the 999 part; I almost forgot about it. It definitely came across as desperate.

Rick Perry's page seems to be unavailable https://www.facebook.com/GovernorPerry, anyone else have this?

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

Looking really good so far.

 

[squirekyle]

I think the 1 MILLION Likes for Ron Paul Facebook BOMB is working... could this be proof? Was 48,000 just yesterday.

How is Bachmann still gaining people?

 

[justatrey]

Perfect.

Newt down, Paul up. Looks like the "debate bump" might be more than just a bump!

 

[thesnake742]

Let's hope this momentum continues! Cain is way down today haha

 

[Disconsolate]

I don't understand why Romney has so many @_@
