SAN FRANCISCO - Exit polls? That's so 2008. This election year, it's all about the social network, specifically Facebook.

As Republicans spar and the President plays defense, the website [url=http://www.SocialBakers.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]http://www.SocialBakers.com[/url] is culling data from Facebook and adding things up.

As of now, the company says Ron Paul has the most "viral reach" of GOP candidates, Rick Perry is the "most engaging" candidate and Rick Santorum has the fastest growing fan base.


"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
