Sarah Palin’s Facebook Popularity Continues to Climb
Common Sense 2020 ^ | 2009-09-19 | LukeAmerica2020

Posted on 09/19/2009 6:28:58 PM PDT by CyberRBTmail

With more than 875,000 fans following her political commentary closely on Facebook, Sarah Palin trails only President Barack Obama as the most popular politician on the social networking site. She has gained 60,000 new followers since we reported her soaring popularity exactly four weeks ago today. Amazingly, she is expanding her high-profile posture in political debates armed only with a notebook computer and an Internet connection.

Palin has used her Facebook page to comment on health care, energy policy, and tort reform. She’s also highlighted other causes, such the celebration of Constitution Day and the commemoration of the eighth anniversary of the 911 terrorist attacks.

And I bet she's not mining their data, either.

Whenever she posts a commentary on FaceBook, hundreds of approvals and comments appear almost simultaneously. She is being followed closely.

my ideal candidate is Palin with Peter Schiff’s knowledge of Austrian economics. Someone need to show Palin a few Austrian economic books to read

I'm on Facebook but don't know what to do with it. All I get are goofy requests to add a friend, etc. My brother's clogging it up too.

I'd love to get stuff from Sarah. Not sure how to do it.

Go to her page: http://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin?_fb_noscript=1

In the lefthand sidebar, find the “notes” block. Then, click “see all”.

Don’t get too excited folks. Someone pointed out as to Obama’s wall and Palin’s wall that, while they both have plenty of fans, they also inspire more opposition posts than other people as well. One must become a “fan” of the person before being allowed to post on the person’s Facebook wall. So not every “fan” is, in fact, a supporter. I’ve seen several negative comments quickly removed from their walls from non-supporters. I know many people who enjoy posting negative things on Obama’s wall and stirring up his fans (and I am sure the dems enjoy doing that on Sarah’s wall).
