Politics On Social Media

USA Today ran a story the other day that said if you want to run for the President of the United States you better be on social media. Most politicians are making their important political announcements on Facebook and Twitter before traditional media.

Since many of you are not on Facebook and Twitter, I decided to bring Facebook and Twitter to you.

I did a little research and found a list of politicans who frequently use Facebook and Twitter. Don’t ask me why Paul Ryan is listed twice. I don’t make the lists but let me explain the numbers.

F—Facebook fans
If there is no F, that means the person is not on Facebook
+—the followers on Twitter today
T—the total number of followers on Twitter
Last number is the total reach on Facebook and Twitter

After you view the list of the 20 people I found, be sure to see recent political tweets from Romney and Obama.
