I've written previously about the role of online tools in Obama's 2008 victory and about the online campaign updates for 2012.

Disclosure: Because I'm not a political reporter, I don't hold myself to the standard of remaining non-partisan. I was a local organizer for Obama in 2008 and run a local organizing website for Democrats in Broward County, Florida.

I don't think any of that is terribly relevant to this report--I didn't make up these numbers. I may be a little happier to report them than if I were a Republican, but I also know its votes not "Likes" that will count in the end.
