Preidential candidates on twitter

Posted on March 3rd, 2008 by Jeff

Thought it was interesting to see the number of followers and followings the presidential candidates had. I’m loosely following the candidates’ use of the internet in their campaigns. In general, Obama does seem to have a much stronger online presence than any other candidate, twitter stats aside.

I couldn’t find what appeared to be the official twitter sites of McCain or Huckabee. If you find them, please let me know!

Twitter Profile Candidate Followers Following Updates
Barack Obama Obama 13,467 12,796 74
Hillary Clinton Clinton 1,565 0 56
Ron Paul Ron Paul 1016 0 85
John McCain John McCain N/A N/A N/A
Mike Huckabee Mike Huckabee N/A N/A N/A

What about the only candidate that is worth the air they breathe, Ron Paul? He is sitting at 1,016 followers and 85 updates… go Ron:)
