Michele Bachmann dropped out, please take her off the list.

11,000 sheep flocking to Santorum today.

They are of the same sheep group that liked Herman Cain's page, Newt Gingrich's page, Rick Perry's page, and Michele Bachmann's page... lol. They will quickly realize it was dumb and then constantly forget to unlike him.

thank you!

Many of us got caught up in really high expectations, but I've been seeing signs all day that casual observers (people not really into politics) were very surprised at how well we did. I had a coworker who knows I'm a big supporter congratulate me and tell me he couldn't believe he came so close to winning.

I think the fact that we were actually winning for a half hour or so also shocked the hell out of many people. Remember, the average Joe doesn't follow polls for the Iowa caucuses so many still had no idea Paul was expected to place in the top 3. I'm guessing this is where a lot of the likes are coming from. Good news.

Yeah CNN was really pumping him up there in the beginning; it was awesome!

Hmph. Romney and Santorum got more today than Ron, but overall Ron got more since the 3d. And Santorum's are half what he got yesterday, so....

thanks for doing this!

I'm shocked Romney has almost 2X fans.

Around 8:30pm eastern time everyday and you could subscribe to this thread to find it easily. The OP deserves much rep and thanx.

I'm shocked Romney has almost 2X fans.

The reasons for this have been well covered.

One, he has been governor of a whole state.

Two, he gets tens of millions of billionaire's money to spend on facebook ads plugging Romney.

Third, he probably has bought some likes or paid for sockpuppet megaphonies,
just as Gingrich bought Twitter followers.

Four, Ron Paul has multiple facebook pages for liberty, 2012, etc.
Just compare the activity on Ron and Romney's Facebooks to see who has more actual living breathing support.
There is almost as many Ron Paul supporters on Romney's wall than authentic Romney supporters.

 

[Omnica]

Almost time for an update.

 

[Ronulus]

can a mod sticky this thread?
