Campaign-tech scorecard: How the candidates compare online (looks like Ron Paul leads)

Here is an interesting article giving some stats on the Candidates online activities. They present them in alphabetical order. Then the article doesn't really say in the end who comes out on top. You would think they would present some sort of winner but they don't .....maybe because it's Paul's numbers who are bigger than all the others.

Always fun to see numbers.

I for one can't wait for this election season to be done with. The way campaigns have evolved has been for the worse in my opinion.

Maybe they don't say who "won" because we can look at the data and see for ourselves. Way to go Newt and Mitt!

Not sure how they determined those Klout scores.

But you would think Newt would lose some Klout after being caught cheating on his wife.

Poor Mitt can't even get the GOP behind him. I can't like him just for the fact that he is bought and paid for by the 1%.

How do you figure Ron Paul won???

LOL...even in the face of facts that prove otherwise...Ron Paul supporters claim he wins


If he loses the Iowa Caucus...I can't imagine the excuses and fraud claims we are going to hear.

I suspect when he loses the "MSM" will have screwed him and that the NWO have rigged it

Even though I sense your sarcasm ...... you are more right that you know.

Also .... I am not really some "Ron Paul Supporter" I do like him but it's not like I am in his fan club.

I merely said it appeared he was leading with his numbers in the online area .... and that I found it odd CNN didn't pick out a candidate and favor that person.... whoever it be.
