Tracking candidate facebook likes

[Dr.3D]

The establishment is coming home to its own.

Reminds me of a dog and his vomit.

 

[Base_Disclosure]

Just posted this on Mitt's latest wall post: "Mitt OBOMNEY -- totally bought and paid for by Wall Street -- spewing the same old status-quo garbage on Iran. Short on specifics, long on rhetoric. Friend of the globalists/Federal Reserve. Nothing new here. Sheep love him, though."

 

[Milaney27]

I don't get Romneys appeal! It can't be just his "presidential" looks, can it? I've never heard him say anything compelling. What are his supporters reasons?

 

[abruzz0]

Romney and the GOP establishment got some real dirty tricks up there sleeve for Tuesday night...I just have that feeling. And it seems that's where all this is headed to. If Romney can somehow eek out a win in Iowa, the media will be jizzing all over him till he takes NH a few days after that, effectively burying us. It's crucial that we win Iowa, even if the media tries to ignore it or say it doesn't matter. It DOES matter, because if anyone else aside from Ron wins, then the presstitutes will crown their ass.

 

[Carole]

Wow! Romney seems to have made a BIG buy!

Wonder how many of these likes are genuine.

Romney Makes Major Gains This Week on Inside Facebook’s Election Tracker
Brittany Darwell•Dec 30th, 2011
Election Tracker, Politics
Mitt Romney saw a surge of new Facebook fans between yesterday and today, according to our Inside Facebook 2012 Election Tracker. We have not heard back from Romney’s campaign whether the growth is the result of an ad buy.
Pundits and polls suggest Romney is favored to win in Iowa on Tuesday. His daily Facebook growth had been lower than Ron Paul’s since December 3rd, but Romney edged Paul on Monday and then shot up today with 6,088 new page Likes.
After slower growth last week, Paul’s daily new fan count picked up again. He is currently No. 2 in most polls.
Rick Santorum’s Facebook page also made big gains since Tuesday. Santorum had been earning fewer than 200 Likes per day since mid-December, but saw 1,012 fans between yesterday and today.
Newt Gingrich, who had a small burst of new fans last Friday, only averaged about 375 Likes per day this week. Gingrich has been facing direct attacks on a number of fronts, including TV spots from Pro-Romney Super PAC Restore Our Future, and has fallen in steeply in recent polls.

So does one get extra likes with an ad buy or what?

 

[Darthbrooklyn]

Unfortunately I think most voters are thinking about just beating Obama and they think that Romney is the best hope... Voters arent looking at the long game and thinking about what theyre going to get w Romney... They just want Obama out period.

Kind of strange in that the facebook likes are showing Santorum's surge losing steam, but the polls coming out are showing it gaining steam. This is weird because usually the two correlate really well.

 

[squirekyle]

Crazy stuff.

 

[The_Ruffneck]

Any proof of Santorum gaining steam outside of Iowa?

So does one get extra likes with an ad buy or what?

Yes it is very easy to buy facebook likes and twitter followers, just ask Newt. Almost all Newt's twitter followers are bots.

You can also buy a crap load of facebook ads, where people are able to click "like".

dang. Unless Romney is buying his. That is a huge discrepency.

 

[Forty Twice]

I think he bought 5000 add/day or else his church has a special promotion to encourage people to Like his page. There's been
no news to explain this movement. True moves tend to correspond to some news.

 

[freeforall]

dang. Unless Romney is buying his. That is a huge discrepency.

Is there a way to find out? It would be a beautiful news article right about now.

 

[wgadget]

Santy is up past 40,000 now...woot.

 

[Kregisen]

Romney has been a governor for years. Governors always have way more likes than congressmen. (exception being Ron Paul)

On top of that, somebody does lots of advertising for Romney's facebook. I've seen hundreds of ads promoting Mitt on Facebook in the last year.

 

[muh_roads]

I'm still shocked Romney has so many. I thought Ron Paul owned the internetz?
