Sarah Palin Smashes Romney on Facebook, Twitter

February 12, 2012
Sarah Palin Smashes Mitt Romney on Facebook, Twitter

Sarah Palin isn't seeking the GOP nomination for president. But if these "social media" numbers are any indication, more than twice the voters prefer Sarah Palin to Mitt Romney.

At present, 3,283,462 followers "like" Sarah Palin on her Facebook page.

That is more than twice the number of those who, so far, have "liked" Mitt Romney on his Facebook,-1,469,434.

Palin likewise smashes Romney on Twitter with 734,104 "followers" , while Romney has a mere 333,569 "followers".

Perhaps this "follower" on Palin's Facebook echos the sentiment of many with this recent comment"

["Happy Birthday Sarah !,-

God bless you ! RUN SARAH RUN, for president you are the last hope."]

Presently, Newt Gingrich has 279,510 "likes" on Facebook.

At present, Rick Santorum has only 126,701 "likes" on his Facebook.

Currently Gingrich has 1,437,932 "followers" on Twitter. That's only slightly less than Romney.

Santorum is far behind on Twitter with only 121,639 "followers" at present.

Mike Huckabee is also not seeking the GOP nomination this time around. These are his "social media" numbers:


Huckabee has more Facebook "likes" than Santorum or Gingrich. But Gingrich is ahead of Huckabee on Twitter.

Bottom line,-

according to these "social media" numbers, Sarah Palin is far and above the most popular of this GOP field.

The bad news,-

Obama's supporters are far more active with the "social media".

Currently, Obama has 25,147,651 "likes" on Facebook and 12,464,028 "followers" on Twitter.

However, it needs to be pointed out again that Sarah Palin isn't seeking the GOP nomination or running for president, and yet she still has such high "social media" numbers.

More "likes" and "followers" than any of the GOP candidates themselves.

If Palin had opted to run , no doubt her "social media" numbers would be far and above what they are now.
