Dave Wedge at the Boston Herald noted on Sunday that State Sen. Scott Brown was beating Attorney General Martha Coakley in the social media battle.
The numbers have skyrocketed, however, since the race has drawn more national attention.
Currently Brown has 35,001 fans supporters on Facebook, gaining 10,000 since Sunday, while Coakley has 8,568 fans.
The Facebook "Women for Brown” group has 1,677 fans, while the “Women for Coakley” group has only 83.
On Twitter, Brown has 6,550 followers while Coakley has just 2,593
This suggests that Republicans, long envious of Barack Obama's successful social media outreach, will continue to have the upper hand in 2010.
Last year Bob McDonnell's social media outreach was far superior to his opponent for Virginia Governor Creigh Deed, who used his Twitter feed to post self-pitying song lyrics as the campaign drew to a close. These kinds of numbers are not just a sign of who has the most money to buy the smartest social media guru, rather, its a reflection of which party is more motivated this election cycle.
It's obvious that a competitive Republican candidate in Massachusetts is drawing droves of enthusiastic supporters.
Having more Twitter followers, however, is not an indication that you are going to win an election, but it is clearly a barometer demonstrating the candidate with the most momentum.

Thats the good news.
The bad news is all 8,568 Coakley fans are jackbooted union thugs.
Run, Scott, run!
My word, this would bee just splendid, if he took this race.
It reminds me of the US Hockey Team during the 1980 Olympics.
what is that site we can go to place a bet on who will win an election?

“The Facebook “Women for Brown” group has 1,677 fans, while the “Women for Coakley” group has only 83”.
...that’s just plain funny. You know that 50 of those 83 are friends, relatives and AG office workers.
Now up to a 25.9% chance for Brown to win.

It's only warming up, FRiend. The show isn't until next week. I'll tune in for the finale'! In the meantime, I've been calling for Scott, with positive results. For those wishing to make phone calls, they give you the words, and the answers you'll need to supply. It is time well spent.

I’m one of the Women for Brown fans...its a great group too!
And even they are voting for Brown. They are just being paid to be Marthers friend.
