Facebook Tally
Barack Obama’s Facebook page lists 853,668 supporters.
Compare that to Hillary Clinton’s Facebook page: 157,935 supporters.
John McCain: 130,497.
But we already knew that Barack Obama’s supporters tend to be better-educated. I mean, how many “hardworking Americans, white Americans” without college degrees have time to create and use a Facebook page — especially the older ones, for whom morning coffee at the local eatery translates to all the face-time they need in their small communities?

"tend to be better-educated"
I am not sure if there is a correlation between Facebook usage and intelligence.
I would assume there is between Facebook usage and age. If Obama is getting the young, I can believe it. I remember when I was young, my peers where passionately uninformed of the the world around them and emotionally leaned to the left as a default response. Heh, they wee also drunk alot.
