This is the latest installment of the Facebook primaries updates (after a month’s absence). I’ve been keeping track of primary presidential candidates’ Facebook profiles, taking a periodic tracking of their number of “supporters” (i.e. “friends”). Note that Rudy Giuliani still has no profile; most likely this hides a large share of GOP support headed into the primaries (though one would expect Facebook users to lean Democratic).

Honestly, at this point anyone w/o at least 1,000 Facebook friends should pack it up & go home. If they don’t have at least 250 people on their staff, who can talk at least three of their friends to support their candidate, then they don’t have a chance.
