Presidential Campaigns

 Share 

Welcome to the Presidential Campaigns page. All GOP candidates are listed alphabetically. Each campaign's use of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, RSS feeds and Flickr are tracked, as well as other forms of social media a few offices are currently experimenting in. All of the icons are linked and clicking on them will take you that campaigns's specific social media page. You can move the mouse over the icons in the "Other" section to learn what type of social media they link to.

The columns are are sortable. Click on the arrows in the header column to sort. Learn more about advanced sorting here.

Rankings

I use one tool to rank Facebook pages and 3 separate tools to rank Twitter accounts. An explanation of who they are and how they calculate their respective ranking scores can be found on the Influence page. The first ranking column are by Klout. The second column rankings are by Twitalyzer. The last column rankings are by Tweetlevel. The scores are constantly changing, and my site is not dynamic (i.e. it does not auto-update), so the data can be a bit out of date, depending on when you visit the site. However, scores generally do not fluctuate wildly, so they can be thought of as more baseline, ballpark scores. Clicking on any score will take you to an updated version of that score. Fell free to edit the page an update scores - this is a wiki after all.
